 We could have had either player over Jaylen Brown and both buddy hield and sabonis would be huge the Celtics.

Sabonis 14.2 PPG 9.6 RPG 3 APG

Hield 20 PPG 5 rpg 2 APG. Hield is the 12th leading 3-point shooter in the NBA and not this year he's the 12th leading 3-point shooter in NBA history.

 Love Hield but could really use Sabonis with Al getting older.

Not likely that Hield winds up in green until the downside of the cycle, 2027 or later, if at all. Boston is overflowing with good wings as it is, and they’re all better defenders than Hield.

Love Sabonis. Gets you the ball on both boards, scores at the rim and the line, gets you to the line. Really good passer, though careless. Kudos to Indiana for having him included in the Paul George deal (along with Oladipo!).

You’re right that Boston could’ve had either of them over Brown, but then they wouldn’t have had Brown. A lot of people are down on him right now but that’ll change.
'I was proud of Marcus Smart. He did a great job of keeping us together. He might not get credit for this game, but the pace that he played at, and his playcalling, some of the plays that he called were great. We obviously have to rely on him, so I’m definitely looking forward to Marcus leading this team in that role.' - Jaylen Brown, January 2021

need the option for neither.  I'd rather have Brown over both of them.

After seeing Brown smash it over Giannis off-footed and do a euro step into a slam, I'm surprised the anti-Brown camp hasn't simmered down a bit, at least for this week

I heard he played great defense today too.

I love how OP bashes Brown subtly and not even including him in the poll.

I love reply all, too, but I don't think this is quite the correct use of that phrase

Sabonis would help any team in the league.

Worth remembering that jaylen is a couple years younger than these cats.

Three and D guys with the combination of size, strength, and quickness to cover guards, wings, and stretch bigs are rare and more valuable than any other position apart from superstar offensive creators.  Jaylen has the chance to become that kind of player.

And develop an offensive game.

I mean, even if his offensive game doesn't develop a lot beyond becoming more reliable as an outside shooter, if he's also an elite defender and can score well in transition, he could be a very valuable supporting piece. Look at what Trevor ariza did as a young guy on the Lakers, and as an older player for the wizards and rockets.

In a vacuum Sabonis - 4 years younger, & would seemingly suit CBS better. Over JB? Probably neither. He has the highest potential of the bunch
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

I wanted Hield in the draft, but I voted for Sabonis as the greater need for the front-court.

That said, Brown has a chance to be the best of the bunch.
