Brown and Marcus give us 2 of the most physically and mentally dominant guards in the league.   Both are super aggressive in different ways.  Rozier isn't too shabby either. Plus Isaiah and Bradley plus our new sparkplug in jackson who is small but super athletic and aggressive as well.

We may not have the protypical big men of some teams but our guards are really good.  Stevens at butler his teams were constructed this way as well.  Great guard play with big guards and a good mix and versatile men who play with the same energy.

Zizic, Yab, Bentil are all tough guys and versatile big men who run the floor and can score in a variety of ways.

Brown is basically  a more athletic Hayward but if you watch hayward and how he plays with toughness and attacks the rim it's the same thing.

I'm looking forward to seeing a defensive lineup of Bradley, Smart, Brown, Crowder .. and I guess Amir (or Horford if we sign him).

Isn't Brown a SF and not a guard?

Yeah Brown is a SF although I think he can play guard or pf.  He's versatile like Pierce like that.  Pierce was a SF but played SG early in his career.   Brown is fast enough where he can play sg, sf, and pf.

He attacks the rim like Hayward does though.

I think we'll make a run at both Horford and Durant this offseason too but not sure if that's what we'll end up with.

We may resign Sully instead of overpaying for Horford and having to play Horford 35+ minutes a game.

Isn't Brown slightly bigger than Jae Crowder?

As far as free agents, I hope we can do something similar to last year as far as even straight up overpaying a guy for a one/two year deal that has flexibility like the Jerebko and Amir deals do.  Especially considering the cap is going up.  You won't get the best FA that way, and of course I would like the best of them, but we can get someone pretty good that can help the team a lot.

Yeah I believe an inch taller.

Taller by an inch.  Crowder beat him on weight tho (by 20 pounds!) at the combine.

Jaylen is a quarter of an inch taller in shoes (both measurements from the Combine). Jaylen's wingspan and standing reach are significantly greater.

what if we sign Whiteside? Smart, Bradley, Brown, Crowder, Whiteside. That sounds like hell to play against.
My biases, in order of fervor:
Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier

I thought Crowder was 6'6 225.

Brown is 6'7 223.  But maybe Brown gains more muscle/weight over the next couple years.  He's only 19.  Crowder is 26.

Crowder measured 240 lbs at the combine. Looking at him, there's no reason to believe he weighs any less.

Pierce played both positions early in his career. We moved him to full-time SF when he stopped being quick enough to stay with SGs.

I'm not looking forward to that offensive lineup. ;D
