A Corey Maggette that plays defense would be pretty sweet.

Kawhi Leonard

1st season stats are really close:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.fcgi?request=1&sum=1&player_id1_hint=Kawhi+Leonard&player_id1_select=Kawhi+Leonard&y1=2012&player_id1=leonaka01&idx=players&player_id2_hint=Jaylen+Brown&player_id2_select=Jaylen+Brown&y2=2017&player_id2=brownja02&idx=players

Stats coming out of college are just as close as well.

Similar size, length and athleticism. But far away from being that good. Jaylen would be wise to use Leonard as a role model. Observe his game. This summer he soetimes tries to do too much. Leonard really good st letting the game come to him and exploiting opportunities with his superior athleticism.

He's going to be much better than Ron Mercer! Try Jimmy Butler.

Not really, but it fits the analogy.

Jimmy Butler is probably Jaylen's best comp, though Jaylen might not have quite the career..

Kawhi seems to have had a much better rookie year with a VORP of 2.4!!! Jaylen will probably struggle to ever get there..

I'd say Jaylen's strength (more ripped though) and body type are more in line with Pierce.   Tatum does have Pierce's foot work and some of his ISO skills.  He doesn't have Pierce's athleticism though when Pierce was young IMO.

So if you combine a little of both Brown and Tatum maybe you get Pierce. HaHa

Tatum is Carmelo Anthony, Jaylen is David Thompson.
