Am I the only one who thinks Jaylen Brown is better than Jayson Tatum?

Anyone who watched the game last night can see why Tatum has a higher ceiling than JB

#1, Tatum has better playmaking skills
#2, Tatum has a better handle
#3, Tatum is comfortable scoring at all 3 levels

Tatum was setting the table for JB...can JB do the same, no?

Again, if JB is your 3rd or 4th best player, cool...but if he's your Batman or Robin, you aint winning a chip

Tatum on the other hand is the real deal

Tatum is the slightly better player and has more potential, but I agree the gap isn't as big as some make it out to be.

Tatum's offensive game is more polished. Jaylen is a better athlete and better on the defensive end in my opinion. Jaylen is more of a small forward, but due to their personnel they play him more as a shooting guard.

Both guys are going to be all stars and 20 PPG scorers for a while in this league. Tatum has top 5 potential if he can put it all together while I thinkithink Jaylen is more suited to be a second or third option.

If I'm Boston I build around JT and JB and get shooters to space the floor and an athletic rim protecting big that can rebound, block shots, and play good interior defense in the years to come.

All the Celtics need to win titles is to surround them with shooters and a defensive versatile big that can shoot the 3 and give them space to operate

Tatum could be a hall of Famer one day, Brown could be an all star soon. The gap isn't that big right now but just going off their ceilings I'd much rather have JT.

Jaylen is self admittedly too disengaged with basketball at random times. He'd be fine with handling the coding and enginnering that goes into state of the art analytic facilities like the Warriors new arena just as much as he would be handling the rock. Tatum breathe basketball.
He just has an intelligence insecurity.
