I'm encouraged by his ball handling. Hes shown the ability to go coast to coast, he's comfortable going left and right, although he prefers right. He has solid foot work going to the basket and doesn't abuse his leaping ability when driving. This is the complete opposite of Jeff Green who I had grown to hate as a basketball player. Jeff Green could only go right, he was only good for about two/three dribbles before he had to pick up the basketball and jump often resulting in charges, had terrible footwork, and lacked any advanced ball handling moves. Even with all of those flaws Green got by in large part due to his physical attributes. This is why I put Jaylen in the low bust potential category, I think his worst case scenario is a something like Jeff Green with slightly worse shooting but much better defense and rebounding.
I have never understood the Jeff Green comparison. Brown and Green couldn't be more different.
Green never, ever had the athletic ability of Brown. Because of his athletic limits there were questions as to his potential position in the NBA. He was thought of a combo forward who would struggle with quicker SFs and have a difficult time posting up against PFs. He struggled getting to the basket off the dribble even in college which is why he averaged only 4.2 free throw attempts per game in his Junior year in college. He was seen as possibly a very good role player who could do multiple things well but could not lead a team. His biggest attributes were his size, long arms, his shooting (36% from 3 for his college career) and his passing (over 3 assists). He was looked as someone who could contribute in multiple ways but would never be great at any one of them. Coming out as a Junior, he was seen as someone who could contribute immediately.
That's almost the exact opposite of Brown. Brown's game is entirely different. He's 3 inches shorter but far, far more athletic. His claim to fame is the ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the hoop. He gets to the line (6.4 FA attempts last year) and he's seen only as a SF at this juncture. His weaknesses are his shooting and he's not known for his passing. He's seen as someone who could be a great defender and scorer in the NBA but may be weaker in some areas like rebounding and passing. As a 19 year old Freshman, he's seen as a project who may not contribute immediately.
So can we stop with the Jeff Green comparisons? They simply don't fit whatsoever. You (plural, not singular you) might as well be comparing Yab to Dennis Rodman and Zic to Shaq.
