More JB videos!

[gouki88]

I'm pretty sure there are a fare few posters who are similarly starved for basketball content at this time of year, so I thought I'd share JB's latest upload on YouTube (haven't seen it anywhere else on here)

Note at 0:34 the Jamal Crawford shake-and-bake layup. He seems to have been working on his handle this off-season yet again. Sky is really the limit for him.

And to think there were people criticising his work ethic earlier

These empty gym workouts are cool but they don't mean much.  All the guys are working out and they all make it look easy when guarded by air.

Looks like he heard my voice! that's right put the videos out young fella!

He still looks very raw doing the moves , but shooting is improving

Jayson came in so polished and had such a great rookie season and peaking in the playoffs.
It's a shame that Jaylen went down with a hamstring but he soldiered through that.
Jaylen came in raw compared to the Drew Hanlen, Bradley Beal molded Jason.
Remember the knock on Jaylen's shooting and his ball handling and closing.
Jaylen can flat out shoot now and has added a mid range game as seen with McGrady workouts.
If he starts raising his free throw shooting it will just add to his ppg average.

Jason has that polished repertoire and that long first step but Jaylen is catching up with his footwork and mid range and shooting off dribble.
.In my opinion,  they are untouchable as we witnessed in playoffs only a glimpse of what a 20 and 21 year old can do in future.
Jaylen's improvement could be more obvious while Jason's just more subtle as he gains strength.
These two will have more open looks and the paint will look like a autobahn with Kyrie drawing double teams and Hayward back as a willing distributor.I sort of class Hayward and Horford as guys that make the right play and maybe less concerned with numbers but team winning.

In the end it will wind up that Horford is the one irreplaceable piece the central coordinator with his passing ,three point shooting ball handling, setting screens and being the defensive quarterback.

I am cause I say prove it

We have an embarrassment of riches at the moment and for the forseeable future. I wouldnt say overall the fan base is sleeping on JB’s progress.

There is so much to be excited about with this team and so much uber talented youth that there is less focus on Jaylen than if he was our only bright spot. Sure there is a small percentage of generally pesimistic folks that tend to lean on a prove it/devils advocate type of mentality. I think this is good balance for the overly opptimistic crowd(self included). But even with that said Its more of a will he become a true superstar or just a star because it seems like he is already on the edge of stardom.

In addition to the talent our young guys(especially Tatum/Brown) seem to have the “it” factor and a very special mental makeup that has been on constant display since day 1. They have already been “proving it” and they are way ahead of schedule.

I am wide awake on this whole team. No sleeping for me.

TP Rollie have always loved your input over the years. Thank you.

These are actually important. Do you think Kyrie practices by being guarded by Marcus Smart all the time? No. These workouts are for muscle memory, correcting forms and try to make moves instinctive.

Dang, just lost a big post to wifi issues....

Jaylen's work ethic and ability to learn reminds me of Avery Bradley.  Though completely different players, JB and AB both strive to add to their game every year, just like Larry used to do. What's more,  JB is starting only his 3rd season which is often a big leap season, if the talent is there.

With this roster, the floor spacing is going to be RIDICULOUS.

Come on Surfer don't tease us-rewrite that long post.
TP ahead of time.
TP number 3!!! back at yah Nam.

[Smartacus]

The T Mac Dojo sessions are my favorite because they seemed to focus on getting his shot off with minimal movement and space.

Jaylen's a force in the open court right now but he still need's a lot of work to be able to score in the halfcourt when the game tightens up. I bet the T Mac sessions gave him some new material to focus his practices on.

Agreed 100%, Jaylen and Jayson are the Celtics future in equal parts... There were way too many would you trade Jaylen Brown for whoever threads over the summer (the answer is no lol).

Really psyched up for the Celts season coming up!

How do we know? They cut the missed shots

Didn't look like there were cuts, at least within a given set of feeds.  The trainer keeps feeding him the ball and he hits them all.  When you are a pro, you have to able to do that.
