I love that Jaylen is scoring, I always loved his game, but I thought he often was a ball hog. He embraced team ball the year they won the title.
So, just wondering if anyone is concerned if he will be able to flip the switch back to team player again when Tatum returns?
He did it before, but man he goes one on three a lot! I think he does at times find the open man and they have missed a lot.
I am sure he will be fine stepping back a little when Tatum returns, but it will be interesting to watch.

I don't think we'll see too much change when they're both on the court.  They've played together for almost a decade, and I think that their roles are pretty set.  There could be some short-term transition pains this year, but if anything I see those coming from Tatum being too deferential to Brown when he comes back.

Once Tatum is back, I would like to see Joe run more plays specifically for JB.  Spread the wealth a little more with end of quarter plays, etc.  If you've got a nearly 30 ppg scorer who is leading a good team, you've got to utilize him as more than a decoy in those situations.

They already have a successful track record of coexisting together so I have no worries there.

I like JB-But I think he has the type of game that is just good enough to get you beat. Plus, there are nights his foul shooting is troubling.
