Play Brown at Power Forward

[myselfonline]

I feel like in addition to being buried behind Durant and Westbrook in OKC, playing out of position hindered Jeff Green's development. I think Brown needs involvement and touches to be able to focus on the offensive end.

Jeff's lack of drive hindered his development. He's the classic case of elite physical talent, but suspect motor. Not a good comparison.

Man u guys are overreacting the kid is 19 years old and playing in a grown mans league. Bro give the kid time to develop. If he's gone this far playing basketball at a high level he is going to get better. U guys gotta chill n have more faith. I don't see this kid being a bust. He's going to be a great basketball player. Rediculous. In my eyes this kids got more upside then Ben Simmons. Chill out...

Brown at the 3 or the 2, not the 4.

This. He's not big enough and to this point he has shown to be a weak rebounder.

[LooseCannon]

I don't think you understand how smallball can work if you don't understand that the idea will be to sometimes play Brown and Crowder at the same time with both as hybrid 3/4s who switch instead of assigning one to be the PF and one to be the SF.

We might also see a bigball lineup, with Brown and Crowder as 2/3s alongside a PG and two legitimate bigs.

We should have selected Dunn and/or traded down with the Wolves and selected Jaylen there.

IMO we could have given the 16 or done a deal around:
Zach Lavine
#5
4
#3

And then turned the #5 over to Philly for Okafor. IMO that would have been maximizing the value for the #3 pick, and at least guaranteeing that we get players that can play in the NBA and have potential to get much better.

This has nothing to do with the thread.

Play Yabusele at both the 3 and 4, send Brown to the D-leauge.

at the same time? 

It has been rumored to have been done before -- a talented individual in a Canadian pro-am game, December of 1973, played both positions at the same time. His legend -- the Facile Frenchman -- is still talked about in small bball circles of the North.

Just what we need, am I right (sarcasm)? Ugh.

I just want Brown talked about on Celtic blog all the day long. I hope he does play some 4 but mostly minutes,

[Smartacus]

Still like Smart as our break in case of emergency 4. Porzingis and Millsap were both proving unguardeble last year until we put Marcus on em.

Can't wait to see Smart/Jaylen/Crowder/Horford out there. Might take Brown a year or 2 to physically develop into that grown man frame of his but when he does I'm fully expecting him to be a player.

[Bobshot]

You just can't tell where anybody will play with Stevens and his small ball "Butler" game. I heard him say he developed this kind of game at Butler because the bigs all went to the bigger schools. He couldn't recruit any good ones. I hope that isn't keeping Ainge from getting another  good big--because this is the NBA, and you have to rebound to win.

Smart/AB/Jaylen/Crowder/Horford is our small-ball-suffocating-lock-down-defense-get-out-on-the-break lineup.
