The extra fascinating part of it is that this one piece of coaching he did this season—pulling back on Jaylen when he was struggling—has had a positive impact! Yes, hitting the outside shot consistently is a big part of that improvement, but you watch him play and it’s clear that his focus catch and shoot open threes, attack closeouts, or post up, and if it’s not there, MOVE THE BALL.
So maybe, I dunno, stop sending the message to every other player that there’s no bad shots.
Also, the dirty little secret re: Brown vs Tatum is that Brown’s first step blows Tatum’s out of the water. If Tatum had it we wouldn’t be talking about all the Kobeball because he would just live at the rim all the time.
