I'd honestly rather have Nader on the team than any of Young or Hunter or even Mickey at this point.

I would keep Young. He's physically ready at least. He just doesn't have the mental game yet.

Mickey is too short and RJ is too slow and not strong enough.

I'd rather keep the mentally ready guy who wasn't physically developed than the physically developed guy who doesn't have it mentally.  I mean, guys get stronger but they generally don't get a better feel for the game unless they came to it late.

yes Brown to Mickey!

I know there's a reason he's a high lottery pick, but it's kind of amazing seeing how automatically better Jaylen is than Hunter and Young.

Guys brown will be starting before crowder by the allstar game..if he can improve his defense..he makes us  better, I have not seen anything from crowder to say he keeps his job.

cmon now. Thats an overreaction.

I AM the biggest Brown fanboy on here, but that my furry friend, is completely mental.

Crowder looked like he was trying too hard to make things happen. He might be feeling the heat with Brown and Green behind him.

The great thing about Crowder however is that he can play the four also. He's not going any where on this team. He's too valuable.

Did you see all of last season?  I love Brown's potential too, but you gotta pump the breaks a bit on Jaylen replacing Crowder.

I mean... I guess?  I've been saying he can come in and do a couple things in the NBA day one.  Both Hunter and Young can't even shoot but they're supposed to be shooters.

I don't see RJ making that leap physically any time soon. Young would be able to battle those better players on D better.

Brown is just vicious

You can tell  he is 9 or 9.5  out of 10 in quickness.  Just so much quicker than most other players


Mickey has bumped up strength but unfortunately it looks like it has affected his quickness a tad.   Hopefully he can keep working on his footwork at this stage. 

I know he got burnt a little by Vazquez by that one play but he was in no mans land after the switch.  And was trying to be in the position to bother a jump shot or if not chase him to the basket.   Not an easy task

I think instead trying to do too much, he just needs to let Vazquez shoot at that point, unless he knows someone is going to help on the weakside.

brown has stepped up late in a lot of 4th Qs I have seen. He did when we lost to Philly but they stopped going to him (after his mini run). He can't shoot fts but knocked down all 4 in the clutch. Very mature.

[MJohnnyboy]

I'm laughing so hard right now. Does anyone else see how PATHETIC Brooklyn looks from this game? I mean, three of their starters were in against our bench/inactive guys and they still couldn't beat the Celtics.

If that doesn't reinforce how awesome that pick is going to be this season, I don't know what will.

Yes he can shoot fts.  He is about a 70 percent FT shooter.  That is above average

He just needs to keep working on it and hopefully can shoot it consistently at 75-80 percent

Like Steven A. would say, "put down the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedd."

I'm too lazy to check but i thought he was closer to 60, sorry you may be right. 70% is better than avg? NBA players must really stink at FTs.



eh, I checked avg. is 75%, if he does shoot 70 that's well BELOW avg.
