I'm dubious of Jaylen starting with this roster. His awareness and decision-making isn't there. He's a freak athlete and attacks with the ball nicely, but not really what we need with Kyrie and Hayward. I do like Smart with the 2nd unit though. Interested to see what Brad does.
I think that's exactly why you start Brown with those guys. he doesn't have to make decisions or handle the ball with Irving, Hayward or horfrod on the floor. Shoot from the corners, defend the wing, and attack close outs.
Hmmm. I see it the other way around -- I actually like Brown with the ball in his hands. I like him creating offense for himself. I like an intangibles guy more with all the talent we have. I get your point tho.
Long term I think you're right, he's gonna be a guy who can make his own offense, he already has some decent dribble moves but he needs to really tighten up his handle especially moving through traffic. For now I think he'll be more efficient just letting the game come to him playing with the starters. But starter or reserve I'm fine as long as he gets minutes.
