Horrendous would be like Avery Bradley during his rookie year. I would compare Brown's handles to other all stars when they were rookies. For example, Paul George and Jimmy Butler were actually worse....Keep complaining about Brown though, just motivates him more. I think he'll be good to great personally.
TP bud. I honestly think Jaylen is the best rookie we have had since Pierce. Smart was more ready, but he was older. There are little glimpses of amazing that shine through with Brown. His fadeaway in the mid range is amazing, and some of his dunks are nasty. How many rookies can say they mini posterized prime Lebron in contact? We have that rookie.
I started watching basketball in 2001, pretty much when Pierce came into his own. I can say without any reservation that I have never been as excited about a rookie's potential as am now about Jaylen. The closest I've come to this is when the C's drafted Al Jefferson, because of his insane high school stats and his body control when he was only 18.
Jaylen's got a dream skill set. If his work ethic and drive are there, I've got the highest hopes for him.
Rookie potential since bird which i'm lucky enough to have seen a rookie be automatically one of the best players in league!
McHale
Len Bias *
Antoine-so much possible talent and didn't do it!
Paul Pierce, I remember him coming in and being amazed at his defense first
Al Jefferson, thought it was McHale part II
Rajon Rondo, in shock really
Billy Walker thought he was going to be a beast at sf
Marcus Smart was playing the best guard defense i've seen since payton
I'm excited about Brown. Kind of reminds me of Dominique
