Tatum is slightly better than Brown. If Jaylen learn how to dribble him and Tatum will be on same level. Jaylen inability to dribble is the only thing holding him back. If Brown learn how to dribble he would also become a better passer and will live at the free throw line because he blows by people even though he got bad handles. IF Jaylen learn how to dribble he has a chance to be a top 15 player in in NBA.

Offensive wise Tatum is a better ball handler, passer, better free throw shooter and slightly better rebounder. They are both similar 3 point shooters. However I think Brown is a slightly better defender, a better finisher at the rim, have a better mid-range game, and is quicker.

He's much better. As much as I want to appreciate Jaylen's game, he makes a lot of questionable decisions on the offensive end.

I just don’t see it. I’m not saying he isn’t better, but the way these media heads talk, you would think it’s Jayson Tatum the SUPERSTAR and Jaylen Brown is just one of the “others.” Kinda reminds me of how some people will put Andre 3k in their top 5 all time, and Big Boi doesn’t even crack their top 50.

They're like a poor man's version of Bron and a healthy Wade. Both are on the same level with Tatum/Bron being slightly better.

Tatum and Brown are more 1a/1b than a true sidekick situation.

I love the unselfishness that Brown and Tatum play with. The whole Celtics squad seems so dam harmonic on and off the floor. I used to shyt on Ainge for a few years, but I admit he was right. They only needed more time to develop.

Brown has realy bad handles

Tatum does too, but Brown struggles to dribble at times.
Yeah it’s very evident with Tatum when he’s bringing the ball up and the on the ball defender is picking him up in the backcourt. I can only imagine the hell that Smart gives them during practice.
