His shot might need even more work than Green’s. They have similar physical profiles, Brown is a tad bit bigger and longer.
Jalen Williams, Jake LaRavia, Marjon Beauchamp, and Wendell Moore are all players I’d rather take a chance on than Kendall Brown.
If only things were that easy to gauge. You could be right but none of us know. Green and Thybulle are almost the same size physically and have similar athleticism but one is a much better defender. Smart is smaller than both and a better defender. Draymond shot has been broke for a while now. Yet he is a valuable contributor.
On the offensive end, someone like JJB should not have been better than RoddyB. Yet he was. Both has similar iffy jumpers and you can say RoddyB injuries caught up to him. The real differnce is that JJJB always processed things a split second earlier and made quick decisions. There was no hesitation.
Where I am going is that you cannot just look at players with similar sizes. Yes having certain deficiencies mean that you will never be great but a lot of players have had long solid careers though they never were stars The key to last in the NBA seems to be self confidence and that ability to read things a split second earlier than the guy who doesn’t last long in the league despite all the comparable physical measurables.
