Draft Profile: Jaylen Brown

[ashes]

Jaylen Brown

Strengths: Decent inside game. Should get a steal. Decent positional defense. Good strength, athleticism, and quickness.

Weaknesses: Shooting needs work.

Scout's Take: Brown has a good toolset but has some work to be done at the next level. He's a smart kid but can also overthink the game. One scout put it like this: "At least Gerald Green came in with a wet jump shot."

Ratings: Jaylen Brown SF 6'6'' 223 20 B C+ C- B- C A

Stipulations: None.

There’s almost certainly going to be a steeper learning curve for Brown than what Stanley Johnson and Justise Winslow—two similarly physical wings, both with better skills and feel at the same stage

Fun fact about Jalen Brown (couple people know this story, but for those who don't it always makes me laugh).

Grant Fineman, the first Warriors GM (RIP) went to Cal and was best friends with one of the guys on the basketball team, so he hung out with the team a bunch, including Jaylen. One time they were all hanging out at Grant's room, and Grant had a DVD of Full Court Miracle on his desk, and Jaylen was like "holy shit, that's my favorite movie, can I borrow it?"

*For those of you that don't know, Full Court Miracle is a Disney Channel Original movie about a basketball team of Orthodox Jewish middle schoolers who are (surprise) some of the worst athletes of all time and need a miracle to help them win a single game (there's a Hannukah theme), so they hire a guy named Lamont Carr to coach them.*

So Grant says yes. And the funniest part is not that this is Jaylen Brown's favorite movie - a few weeks later Grant sees him again and asks for the DVD back, and Jaylen's says "nah, I'm still watching it, let me hang onto it for a bit." And then a few weeks later Grant is again like "can I get my DVD back" and Jaylen's like "Idk what you're talking about man" and Grant was just like uhhh ok. And that was it. So Jaylen Brown stole Grant's copy of a Disney Channel Hannukah movie and denies it to this day

Stipulation: Jaylen was born and raised irrationally believing he only had one hand, his right. Whenever Jaylen dribbles with his left hand, however seldom that is, one of three things happens:
1. Jaylen turns the ball over to the other team. Do not pass go. Do not collect buckets.
2. Jaylen and his defender play a quick BO3 of rock, paper, scissors. Winner gets a dunk.
3. Jaylen successfully completes his dribble! Does he shoot it, pass it, or dribble again? If Jaylen dribbles again, two dice are rolled. A roll of two or three indicates that Jaylen has decided to dribble again with his left hand, thus beginning the process anew.

Part of a really fun and weird one-off Cal team with 4 guys that made it to the NBA
