Jaylen Brown

[Blue Decade]

I'm more optimistic about Jaylen than I think TJ is, but I think Jaylen depends on what happens with Trey Lyles. I like that fact that the UCLA/KU Adidas talk has died down and that Jaylen made the Jordan Brand game. That tells me that Adidas doesn't have him sewn up.

What is 100% obvious right now however is that the staff's No. 1 priority is Malik Newman, because they are sure that the Harrison's and Booker are gone. Jaylen is priority 2 based on what happens with Trey. Trey might decide to come back if he isn't a guaranteed lottery pick, and he is borderline right now.

In The frontcourt, the priority is Maker to replace WCS, with Bryant or Zimm being the backup plan if Dakari leaves.

I think Maker will be a Cat. KAT and WCS are gone. For Maker, picking Kentucky makes a lot more sense than picking Kansas, Indiana, or Europe. Jaylen Brown is more complicated. Lyles is gone. Lyles will be a lottery pick, or close to it. To simplify Brown's decision by saying it depends on Lyles is just wrong. Maybe I misunderstood you there.
