Can Brown beat Crowder for the starting job this season? Maybe after the all star break?
If this happens Crowders trade value will sink a bit.
Unless Brown finds his stroke and starts hitting 3s at a better rate than Crowder, or gets to the line as much as in summer league, no.
He could end up starting next to Crowder if none of our bigs besides Horford are effective, and could definitely take it by the following season, but, baring Crowder getting injured, Brown won't start over him
No. This is not a measure who shoots the three better
It's about a lot of things, including their ability to stretch the floor. Brown doesn't have to hit 3s better to replace Jae (as I said in the post), but it'll be a lot harder to take the starting job if he can't
Crowder needs to hit jump shots bc he cant finish at the basket (1 on 1 basketball)
Brown can
Crowder shot at just over 70% within 3 ft of the basket, making up over 27% of his shots attempted. I don't know how you could possibly say he can't finish inside. Brown, on the other hand, hasn't shown a consistent ability to finish inside. I think he'll figure it out eventually, but he hasn't yet and he certainly isn't better than Crowder at it right now
Not to mention that everybody on this team needs to be able to make shots away from the basket, that's part of Brad's system
