Jaylen Brown

[Ian Noble]

Current: 80
Proposed: 85

Have you considered Jaylen Brown?

^Progress
Celtics are sitting strong as 2nd Seed in the East, Jaylen's now being talked about as a fringe possibility to be an All Star, he's taken a huge leap forward compared to last season:

2018/19: 13.0ppg | 4.2rpg | 1.4apg on 47/34/66
2019/20: 20.6ppg | 7.0rpg | 2.4apg on 52/40/75

^{Who Leads the Celtics?}
There's no real distinction between Jaylen and Jayson in terms of who is better any more. In fact Jayson has weirdly identical stats but falls short of Jaylen's much better efficiency. Kemba's not really any better:

Jaylen: 20.6ppg | 7.0rpg | 2.4apg on 52/40/75
Jayson: 21.2ppg | 7.0rpg | 2.9apg on 42/36/84
Kemba: 22.5ppg | 3.9rpg | 5.2apg on 43/40/87

^{Considering Intensifies}
Most noticeably Jaylen's dribbling has improved so ridiculously compared to previous seasons, and his shooting has also become much better.

I am hoping for an 85 rating for him, since Jayson Tatum got an 83 rating last year contributing much less (15.7ppg | 6.0rpg | 2.1apg on 45/37/86), but it's to be expected that shaving off his flat-top in the off season could demote him a few points.

I can go 85 — I think Brown at this level is easier to see and peg than Brandon Ingram, as Brown has had success in the playoffs in addition to the regular season. He’s also played a lot more games (45+ when assessing regular season plus playoff participation) and bigger progression sample to see vs. Ingram.

Yeah 85 seems good, that All-Star line.

Ian Noble do you believe ingram is better than jaylen?

I think Jaylen is a just as good of a player but he's had to share usage and his stats have suffered, and that's unfortunately the biggest thing when rating players. Ingram is the leader of his team whilst Jaylen has had to compete with Jayson, Kemba, Hayward, Horford, Kyrie etc.etc.

I think if you swap Jaylen for any other good player on a bad team (Ingram, Booker, Trae Young etc.) he'd score almost as much, and defend much much better, than any of those guys.

I agree with you, that's why I dont agree with Ingram being an 87 and Jaylen an 85

85. Good player on a good team

[Walt Frazier]

I'm going 83 for now, simply b/c we've seen him kind of go on swings in his career so far. Great half season here, horrible (at least on the shooting end) half season there, etc.

His stats warrant higher, I kind of want to go 85, but I'll go there (or maybe higher) if he keeps it up the entire season / most of the season, this time.
