Who is the better player and who has more potential: Mikal Bridges or Jaylen Brown? (alien.top)

Mikal is a better defender, although his defense dropped off after taking on greater offensive responsibility. He averaged 26/5/3 with 1.8 TOs on 61% TS after being traded to the nets. JB has shown more in the playoffs but also is a turnover machine sometimes. He averaged 27/7/4 with 2.9 TOs on 58% TS. Personally, I think for now Brown is the better player, mostly because he's a better rebounder and iso scorer. I think Mikal can easily overtake him this season if he shows more in his bag.

I would argue most of the existing contenders (Nuggets, Suns, Bucks etc) would rather have Mikal. With a lessened scoring load he can go back to being a DPOY contender and elite off ball player
