[CELTICSofBOSTON]

Do you think Jaylens long term position has to be at shooting guard because of Jayson Tatum or are they more 3 and 4 ?

Jaylen is already a matchup nightmare at the 2 but now, he is a legit PROBLEM !!! He is going to be a force.

Team 7/11 !! (Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum).

 I believe he's 237 pounds. No way he's 6'8" now.
 He was 6'5.25" at the combine shoes off. Anyone believe he grew Almost 3" in one year?

[A Future of Stevens]

I assume he was referring to his playing height at 6'8. So it's 1 inch in a year. And no I don't believe it.

Jaylen Brown doesn't lie 

But I don't believe the height thing he was barely 6'6" at the combine.

Jaylen's dad is a 7 footer so... Jaylen is a worker!

He probably is counting his height in shoes. Every nba player has their in shoe height as their listed height.

Since he was listed at 6'7 last year it's safe to assume he only grew an inch not 3

Yeah, what's so hard to believe about him growing 1 inch? He's still very young. Tatum might also grow another inch or so in the next two years.

I believe him.

And I bet Tatum will end up 6'9" plus.

Are they more 3 & 4 or more 2 & 3 ?

[the TRUTH]

While it's not super common for people to grow another inch at that age, it does happen. No idea if it's actually true, but it would seem like an odd thing for him to make up, wouldn't it?

Well according to Stevens, it doesn't matter. He wants a lineup of position-less players, and we're getting close to having that.

Add Hayward, George, and Smart to those two, we have 5 core guys who can switch on everything on both ends of the floor.

IMO Jaylen is a SG that can play SF due to length, ability, and strength, and Tatum is a SF that can play PF due to length and ability.
Basically I hope Brown and Tatum are our future 2 and 3.

He probably measured the flat top.

He probably measured the flat top.

It would have counted in his official measurement a year ago at the combine, so either way he's still grown.
