Jaylen out til after All Star break??

Love it.

Give Smart and Green more minutes so they can build more confidence and rhythm.

We can go the rest of the year trying to give Jaylen and Rozier more confidence/rhythm to make them into NBA players, but really what would their best-case contributions look like at this point in their development?

I know I'm not going out on a limb by saying it's nowhere remotely close to Smart or Green's best-case contributions if either one could find their jump-shot consistently.  Just seems like better money (minutes) spent.

I believe Brad will go to a 8 man rotation in the playoffs, with Smart getting ~30 minutes, Kelly ~25, and Green with ~15 (Jerebko could play if Amir is struggling).

I think the 2nd unit's offense should be 100% focused around Smart and Kelly, as opposed to relentlessly swinging the ball side to side like the starters (in part because they're simply not as talented, and also partly because Rozier/Brown/Jerebko/Kelly are combined, too unselfish) .  Just put any 3 shooters behind the 3 point line and let them do their work in the pick and roll.

Having Brown, Rozier, and Jerebko passing the ball around the perimeter and then occasionally driving isn't doing a lot for us, especially when Smart, Kelly, and Green are such special offensive players.

This is why I am saying that when Jaylen gets comfortable enough to start asking for the ball from our best player, this will be the highlight of the entire season aside from IT4's rise to stardom. Of course, that's if it happens but if you look around the roster there isn't a body that is as capable as Jaylen Brown's... Crowder can't handle the ball, AB is less limited than before but you can't expect him to take over games, Smart has that potential but missing the tools Jaylen has.

Smart has taken over NBA games against top competition way more times than Jaylen Brown even dreams about.

A couple of dominant drives per game is nothing close to the game-changing plays Marcus makes.

Please never again compare where Jaylen is currently at in his career to Smart.

Especially if your conclusion is that Brown is "more capable" than Smart (at literally anything).

Jaylen Brown is Kobe and we need to add Nader?

What if, after everyone has completely given up on James Young, he reels off a couple of really nice games here? I'd love it.
