Yes, Jaylon Brown wasn't impressive this year for Cal, but I believe he will be much better in the NBA when … It’s okay, but its not always natural. Because he was an abysmal shooterIs Brown a guy who needs every single player around him to be a good shooter? There is ALWAYS a simple play to be made whether via swinging the ball, a post re-entry or simply moving a few feet to the left or right to create better passing angles or set up driving lanes off the catch, etc. And I made another thread because his name on the post was low and thought most people wouldn’t click the article for my take.
That just suggest that he’s 18 year old, super agressive player , that only really knows how to play at one speed. You’re not new to this. He’s a slasher/scorer. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Even his body language clearly said that he’s confused and doesn’t know how to assert himself outside of forcing the issue, looking spaced out and literally shrugging while he’s playing.
There isn’t one aspect of the game where I can say he even has a decent understanding of what is going on. He doesn’t execute the simple pass, like an easy ball swing or post entry. I see him going more in the 10-14 range. He stands and watches a lot.
No, his mental shortcomings go beyond the scope of natural growing pains. Their record is 19-31. I could be missing the bigger picture but see him as way over rated. When an offense is struggling, a player with a halfway decent IQ would not compound the situation by continuing to make bad plays. His flaws are really easy to spot, but there’s plenty to work with and no reason to think he can’t at least become a decent shooter. That to me, means his bball IQ isn’t developed as much as it could be at an early age. He forced drives, was sloppy, didn’t pick his spots well, makes up his mind to drive regardless of how the defense lined up, and more. What the @*!# are you even talking about? Your breakdown of him sounds very similar to John Wall. He's a smart guy irl, I wouldn't really rule Brown out either but his basketball IQ right now isn't a strength. Forced drives, forced shots, his awareness is poor on both ends. © 2019 Sports Phenoms, Inc., All Rights Reserved | So… you gotta get guys with a good personality — OR guys with a personality you can deal with.Specific SKILLS are somewhat unrelated, but teachable (guessing). He also played much better w/ more 3 point shooting on the floor (when Wallace went down w/ an injury), that’s a fact.No reason to use the word "hell", suggest that you are pissed/mad about something, it’s just basketball and I’m trying to add to the conversation. I think I just learned how to change my IQ because it’s alot lower after reading that!! Jaylen Brown has been quite busy in his typical eccentric fashion since coming to New York City for the draft. They had multiple guys who were 40 percent three point shooters.
For such a highly touted prospect, his IQ is very poor, undeniably so, even when comparing him to his peers. Is Brown a good defender? I’d expect him to be an impact bench player for a couple of years before I’d consider him as a starter by which time I’d have hoped he’d developed more.Wade didn’t make a three in his last 53 games, DeRozan was a 16% 3 pts shooter at USC, Jrich a 29% 3 pts shooter as a frosh.You ain’t shooting 8,4 FT per 36 mins as a freshmen without downside.Wade didn’t make a three in his last 53 games, DeRozan was a 16% 3 pts shooter at USC, Jrich a 29% 3 pts shooter as a frosh.You ain’t shooting 8,4 FT per 36 mins as a freshmen without downside. But the Spurs’ disappointing 21-26 record likely didn’t help DeRozan. He won’t get past the Kings. He’s a slasher/scorer. Small for a SF.
Unsurprisingly so, he was the 12th man on the team despite his reputation.Yes, Cal had major problems offensively, but Jaylen was a big part of that problem. Low basketball IQ is always a frightening thing to me because a lot of guys who don’t understand the game don’t ever really learn it and their teams waste high picks on their potential is Stromile Swift and Tyrus Thomas just to name two. Why is that far-fetched? That team suffered from lack of continuity, poor shot selection and poor decision making at the end of games, where Jaylen and Ty Wallace were the biggest culprits.
He also had to work with a struggling coach.
A young player should always have a developing basketball IQ, Brown’s isn’t great, I’ve seen better and I’ve seen worse.
Good, but not great, athlete. Derozan isn’t leaving but it still acts as insurance and Terrence Ross is on a trade friendly 10-mil per year contract. Why did I even read that. They NEED to develop a test for Basketball IQ.
