Throughout the Toronto game I kept wondering why Jaylen Brown hardly played in the second half. In a game where Horford & Jaylen were the only people athletic enough to get to the rim (and finish or get fouled), we were treated instead to Olynyk, Jerekbo, and others create 0 separation... and Horford come back in too late.
I thought Jaylen played really well in the first half, and looked like a good mismatch each time he touched the ball. What am I missing? It's like he makes one not-so-great play and gets yanked. Meanwhile everyone else on the team can make 5 bad plays in a row and stay in the game. A lot of the players (Jerekbo, Amir, Zeller, and to a degree Crowder) are clearly at or almost at their potential. Jaylen honestly seems like the only player on the team who I think has a chance to be special. I'd much prefer to find out what he's capable of than watch this brick-fest of mediocrity that this team is on Offense.
