No. 30: Jaylen Brown
It’s almost become a cliche to note how while All-Star swingman Jayson Tatum’s growth has gotten the lion’s share of media attention, Brown has also come into his own as a two-way player.
But there’s a reason why the Cal-Berkeley product has garnered so much attention this season, and Favale and Bailey haven’t missed it. Sharing Brown is “averaging a career-high 20.4 points per game while downing 38.1 # of his threes and a gaga 55.2 # of his twos,” they highlight the Georgia native’s increased accuracy (73.6 #) at and frequency to the foul line.
