I'm not seeing top 10, all-NBA, MVP candidate player in either of them -- at least not the way I see it in Ben Simmons or Embiid. Granted, Embiid has a couple years on them, but neither JB or JT scream likely top 10 to me. They do look like future all-stars (top 25) with the dream scenario being that they'll progress to league-elite players. But right now they are two very promising players who are getting fantastic experience -- and hopefully will adjust seamlessly when they go from being the 1-2 options to the 3-4 options next year.
So Jaylen Brown, who is 21, has two 30 pt games in the first 4 games of the playoffs and plays all-NBA level defense, and you don't see top 10 potential in him?
I guess my point comes down to usesless semantics. I agree that there is potential in both Jaylen and Jayson to be top 10 players in the league. My point is that I don't expect it -- at least not in the way I expect(ed) it after watching the second year of Giannis, Towns, Embiid, Simmons, Davis, Porzingus.
JB has taken another leap so far in the playoffs, and took a big leap from Year 1 to Year 2, but he still seems to me to be one small rung below the elite young guys. But it certainly wouldn't shock me if JB or JT become all-NBA some day.
BTW -- I think Paul Pierce was a barely top 10 player (maybe 8 or 9) in his prime -- so I consider top 10 a very high bar.
