I set a 4 year reminder for this post so I could look back at the replies in the future.

I just recently got the notification and figured that others here would want to see how things turned out. It obviously goes to show how uncertain things are in the league, but also not to get too down on young prospects who have a down year, because there's always a possibility that they will improve.

JB is kind of weird, you watch him and he passes the eyetest as a star but a lot of impact stats have him as like the 5th-8th best Celt the past few years, which is rarely the case with stars of his age (although LaVine has a similar issue).

It's because he trades minutes at the wing with Tatum. Impact stats are largely based on on/off and when the guy you're switching off with is better than it will always depress the impact stats. Brown would be the first or second most impactful player on the C's (depending on White) if Tatum didn't exist.
