The Very Best Jaylen Brown Highlight video

The guy has the same emotions/reactions as Leonard.

I have to say that was a great highlight video.

Have you seen highlights of games Bill Walton has called. When Bill Walton gushes over you, you know you have game.

 The bill Walton think is overblown. He loves his intelligence and character.

Dude I love Jaylen Brown but Bill Walton could gush over an empty field the Grateful Dead played a concert at 30 years ago.

Kedrick Brown was coming from JUCO was not mentally ready for the nba, and was in a bad situation with jim o'brien at the time and our stand in the corner shoot 3's mentality.  If you watch brown he attacks the rim off he dribble on the catch and from the top of the key.  Kedrick did not do this. He was a dunker and was completely gun shy everywhere else.

O'brien could have coached Kedrick to be more aggressive but he never did.  Jaylen already is that.

Kedrick did not handle the ball. He was a stand in the corner and shoot  3's and dunk it in transition on breakaways and on lobs. That was it with occasional defense mixed in due to his athleticism.

Gerald Green was the same thing. He was not mentally ready for the NBA. 

Ainge made a point of drafting players who are this time.

 I do really agree with  that. Kedrick was almost mentally handicapped. While Brown is almost a Genius.

 Kedrick went to OkaloosaWalton Junior College. Let that sink in.

He's super young too. The sky is the limit with this kid.
Think about how big he's going to be in 3 years after working out in an NBA gym and with the Celtics chef feeding him $100 prime rib every day.
This kid is an absolute beast.

[libermaniac]

I love his recovery on defense coming back and blocking shots on fast breaks the other way, ala LeBron in game 7 with 1:50 to go. 

[timpiker]

He could be a Kedrick but maybe just maybe he'll be our next PP.

He's definitely the most athletic player we've had in a great while. He definitely has a high ceiling.

Two things worry me about him, though:

1) 95% of his scoring that I've seen has been right at the rim, which makes me think in the halfcourt set he won't necessarily be all that productive. Hopefully the increased spacing will still allow him to get to the rim regularly in the halfcourt set.

2) His shot is..... funky. There's something different about it - like he's short-arming/stiff with his arms when he shoots. Reminds me of Barbosa's shot quite a bit. Doesn't look like one that would be very reliable off the dribble.

EDIT: He also seems to be a pretty good finisher, too. But wasn't Smart also a good finisher in college? That hasn't translated yet to the NBA for him.

Yep. And I love him all the more for it.

I noticed that, too. Off the dribble, it seems to take him a ton of time to square up. NBA defenders would be able to recover. Also, some shots didn't seem to have much -- if any -- follow-through. He says he's working on that stuff, so who knows. Seems to be  pretty determined. I'm curious how he's going to look in SL.

Smart seemed to have a very slow first step and that was evident before we drafted him. Finishing is not exactly the problem -- he can't get enough separation going to the hoop.

All solid points guys.

TPs for all.

Brown is definitely a more valuable prospect than Smart, imo.

This guy is ripped.

Hey, what is the draft, a dunking contest?

I like the kid--he's smart, athletic and can learn. I saw him hit 7 outside shots in a row, so he can shoot a little. He has the tools to be very good. But I could care less about this dunking BS.

Dunking doesn't win championships. Though I think Draymond Green wishes he had dunked on that last play in game 7 instead of going for the backboard. In any other situation, it's probably goaltending (James' left hand hit the rim).

Nice. Better than those dunking videos. Red would like this kid.

I'd start him at the 5. Honest.

Wow Cal has way too many different jersey types. Time to look into that budget.
