Jaylen Brown.

Dario Saric has been averaging 16.8/7.9/2.9 since February.

 for Nerlens Noel & Robert Covington for that #3 pick in what will be remembered as the Worst Draft in 20 years.

And in a Draft that has produced so far Zero potentially great players Brown was considered the #10 prospect.

How much More Dangerous would Boston look today w/ Noel & Covington on that Playoff roster 

instead of Brown, a hapless rookie w/ Poor fundamentals who only avgerages 6 pts & 2 rebounds in Mostly garbage time

how the hell is a dude NOT getting negged for using Kemba and Kyrie as examples of unathletic guards????  Both of them are incredible athletes. Kyrie plays with such poise and pace that his athleticism can get overlooked, but Kemba is a hot rod… Just bc a player doesn’t dunk with regularity doesn’t mean that they are unathletic by default. 

 I was big on Brown before the draft and felt like he was in the same tier of prospect grade that Ingram, Murray, and Hield were in.  Meaning I felt the Lakers should have given Brown, Ingram, Murray and Hield all equal consideration with the 2nd pick. 

I agree his potential is extremely high and he’s not just athletic with a great build but exceptionally bright personally so his chances of reaching his ceiling are greater.  I’m not really sure what his ceiling is but I think  it’ll be setting similar to prime  Latrell Sprewell. 

With that said Dario Saric has clearly been the best rookie not named Embiid and hes taken control of the team and is still leading them to tough grind out wins as the first option while doing it all scoring, rebounding and assists at a high level.

After Saric Brodgan is clearly in 2nd place.

Then the most consistently impressive rookie would be either Marquess Chris or Jamal Murray.

Yes I understand Brown is doing it on a playoff team but it’s made his role easier to learn and handle.  He hasn’t taken over multiple games the way Saric has or even Brodgan or Murray. 

sometimes I think Danny Ainge is on another level than everyone else. Brown has so much raw potential and hes a good guy too, smart as well. They get to rape the Nets for 2 more years and they’ll most likely add an even greater talent in Fultz or Ball. Then, next year, you have some nice talent as well.

 As much as I love Jalen, he was the guy I wanted all along since the begining of last year, even I’m not going to say he is in ROY discussion. Saric and Brogden def. deserve it, as both are playing great basketball. 

Brown was terrible at the begining of the year. And I mean he was badddd. Couldn’t keep up on D, offensive fouls gallor because he would just try to muscle his way to the hoop. Terrible passer. 

But then Avery Bradley and Crowder got hurt, and he was inserted into the starting lineup to add some length, and boy did that do wonders for this kid. If he was on any other lottery team and playing 30 mpg he would probably be putting up respectable numbers. 

As a starter for the #2 seed in the East Jalen is averaging 9/4/1/1 and shooting decent percentages. He’s getting to the line, and has made a bunch of clutch baskets down the stretch in a lot of games. His shooting was considered a weakness coming out, but it’s actually been a strength for him, and has opened up more opportunities for him to drive on guys. This is increasingly important when you take into account that he gets to the line a good amount for a rookie, and as most of us are aware, to be succesful as a scorer in this league, you have to get to the line, and make them. 

Brown still has a long ways to go, but at this point I think he’s silenced the people who thought he was a bad pick at #3, and his quick developement and chemistry with the starters has really opened the door for the Celtics, and he gives a lot of us fans hope for a better tomorrow. 

Jaylen, Smart, and whoever we pick in this years draft is going to be a great, intelligent, athletic core going forward. 

  Brown has made great improvments so far. He is a super hard worker and he seems to get better and better. Should be interesting to see the jump he can make next year if more playing time comes his way. I think he is showing he can be a starter. With being a guy that needed to learn I thinik he took alot from guys like Bradley and Crowder.

Brown made a top 10 play the other day where he caught n allyoop with his left hand then had to switch hands mid air to lay it in. I was really impressed. It showed some future potential to make some skillful lay ins. But right now that is his biggest weakness, finishing around the basket. He misses tons of layups. Hopefully IT will show him the magic touch there lol. I think he will get the feel to finish those drives to the basket that he does so well. Then the sky is the limit.
