For those complaining about Brown's handle and ability to drive, I don't think you are giving the kid enough credit. Brown's first year, he dribbled high and didn't protect the ball during drives. He also had no moves. Just straight to the basket.

In his second year, his dribbling was much lower and handle was tighter. He developed a Eurostep and learned to finish through contact. Also, when shut off he developed a nice fadeaway. And he learned to pass much better on drives where he got shot down, hitting the open man much better. The growth from year one to year two, was unbelievably incredible. He obviously  worked on it all offseason. I can't wait to see what he brings differently this year. You might see some shake and bake stuff and learning to create better and be much better in the pick n roll.

To me this shows great dedication, work ethic and BBIQ. His court vision won't ever be great on the offensive end and the best I think we will ever see is he will become an average passer, but other than that he will be a tremendously well rounded two way superstar, in my opinion.
There is no doubt he improved almost everything hugely during his first summer, but can he do it again like he claimed? i have my concern since he seems not working as hard as last summer but we will see
What makes you think he hasn't been working as hard as last offseason? Because he went to some business seminars? Last year there was little in the news about his offseason work and he came back a different player. Again, there has been little news of his offseason work. I think it's a mistake to just assume he isn't working as hard as he did last year.
Last summer he post several hard working out videos, this summer he post videos of playing baseball, piano, streetball and lazy workout to be specific, the fire obviously isn't there, this is my gut feeling and i'm usually pretty accurate about it so

You must not follow Jaylen on Instagram or Twitter. He's been posting stories of him working our nearly every day working on his handle, vertical leap (using resistance bands), and practical strength (dumbbell pushups, core exercises with yoga ball, etc.). He's also posted videos of him playing basketball in many different countries and working with Tracy McGrady on mid-post moves and counters.

So his decision to post a few videos that make up about 0.00009 %of his offseason, and suddenly he isn't working out . This is just silly.

Just go checked his twitter, didn't find things i haven't seen, training with T-Mac is good but that's it, playing with far inferior guys doesn't impress me at all

But ... but ... those are facts. He was talking about his gut feeling, and he's normally right about this kind of thing.

Playing with inferior players is perfect. When you learn something, you first try it out alone, then against mild resistance, then against strong resistance, then in actual gameplay. Why do people do practice swings?

And like I said, no one is obligated to post videos of them working out. Esp not to satisfy some random fan who thinks they are goofing around.

Playing with inferior players for tryout is good, but you need to first learn new things.

no one is saying he is obligated to post videos but when you don't(and doing the opposite) people will be concerned of you
