NBA ROLE: EXPLOSIVE, TWO-WAY WING
Jaylen Brown’s a high-rising, rim attacker who (also) treats defense as a main priority; underrated, two-way star: forever in attack mode – has a wide array of moves to lean on off the dribble (driving floaters, spins, euros, 1-2 dribble pull-ups), can find minuscule seams to slip thru or burst in for a strong finish; outside J is much improved, steadier mechanics & a more confident release point has created better results; has improved shots OTD & playmaking – sees floor well, has found a better “pass v. score” balance in the flow of games; Brown has great size at 6’6, 225, drives with purpose, tries to dunk everything; maximizes Boston’s potential when playing at his peak; excellent defender who accepts the responsibility of difficult assignments - can defend 1-4 w/ effectiveness; near DIFFERENT BREED-level duo w/ Jayson Tatum; 2021 All-Star – JB’s a true go-to guy/lockdown defender in Boston – reached NBA Finals in 2022; signed $300 million extension to stay in Boston, can Brown & the C’s realize a title in 2024?
