You guys see what Sporting News draft expert Sam Vecenie had to say about Jaylen this week? It seems to echo what some people have been saying about him here.
I would not take anything Sam Vecenie said as gospel. At want point he wanted us to take Bender, which would have been a disaster. It's his job but scouts are wrong all the time. They have connections, which makes them different than us, and it is their job but other than that they are fans just like us. Take a look, he didn't even play college sports.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-vecenie-7a818934I completely agree with Jaylen getting pulled when he makes one mistake, while guys like Zeller can watch their man burn them and miss rebound after rebound and suffer no repercussions. There is such a thing as a double standard and it should especially apply to your rookie #3 draft pick. Jaylen should be able to play more freely without being worried about getting yanked for missing a rotation or blowing a stupid shot.
Coaches are always hardest to the guys who they see potential in folks. Zeller is Zeller and will always be Zeller. CBS expects more out of Brown, because of his potential. This is the price of being good, extra scrutiny because the coach expects more.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS:
He does not play because he is a rookie and has to earn it. Some games he is good and many more he is not. He has two things that I like he is athletic with a NBA first step and he is intelligent. He has tons of room to grow, one can see the improvement.
