The Payton Pritchard Brunson Theory
Good article I came across. Only doesn't hit two things that I thought were important that I covered in my previous post relating to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/bostonceltics/comments/1wqzhma/some_analytics_for_the_upcoming_season_long/
Payton was so much better when Jaylen wasn't on the floor - have a picture on my post
Payton was ridiculous when given high usage this year. I mentioned the numbers in the post as well.
Everything indicates that Payton will be able to scale his game up no problem. I don't think he'll do it like Jalen, as Michael mentions, they have pretty different shot distributions. I would like to see Payton's rim frequency and FTr bump up a bit, but tbd on that. Also the fact that the Celtics are leaking this comparison to the media makes me very confident they want him to be the #2.
