Does Jaylen Brown Have All-Star Talent?
Jiri Welsch:
Anyone want to be a total mensch and quote the ESPN Insider article, besides the following:
--- Quote ---Brown ranks second on the Celtics in points, minutes, rebounds and 3-pointers made per game while sitting fourth in the NBA in scoring average (16.1) among players under 22 years old. He has had an excellent start to his sophomore season, which is something most statistical models would not have predicted when the Celtics drafted Brown third overall in 2016 after a single year at California.
How has he done it, will it last, and what does this strong start mean for his NBA ceiling?

All star potential. Talent isn’t all there yet but he has the tools, great coaching, winning environment, playoff experience, and is set up nicely to become an all star. His shot has become respectable. His handles could use a bit of work but not terrible. Other small things to fix

TP, thanks. I think if Brown could make 60% of his shots at the rim this year he’d be averaging at least 18 PPG

Add a point per game if his FT% were at 80%.
Jiri Welsch:
Are these all things you think can improve over time? It’s bizarre to me that Marcus Smart can be a dead-eye FT shooter but a bad jump shooter. Yet Brown has a decent stroke and can’t make a FT.
