On this part, would it even be crazy to say Brown has been at best their 4th best player this year?

I feel like White has fairly easily looked like their 2nd best player this year and possibly on a night to night basis their most *important* piece. Then even Zinger in the games he’s played might be slightly ahead of Brown too.. hell some matchups even Jrue might have the edge because some games his defense is huge for them.

I see what you're trying to say. But Brown is still their 2 second best player. They just have a lot guards right now. When you have do much talent. It's best not to make everyone in this locked tier of who is the number 2. On this team it's a rotating tier system . Tatum is the unquestioned leader.

I was talking specifically about the bare cupboard part. Never said “They’ll be fine and they’ll keep hitting on all of their picks.”

No it's not crazy it's the truth. that's even with Jaylen probably playing his best ball all around of his career until last night. his play doesn't impact the advanced stuff like the other 2. I still think KP has been the number 2 but Dwhite is having a crazy season. I still have PTSD from Jaylen in that Miami series and that still happens against Big teams like last night, Jrue has that as well but his role is less important because as long as he's defending like crazy, he's usually fine.
