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.

Today I learned Bridges is 27 and older than Brown

Brown is easily the answer but.

Neither player can be top guy on a championship team but in fairness to them there's only a handful of guys in the league that can be. And they need guys like brown and bridges with them

Did bridges just breakout or do even bad teams need a leading scorer? We will find out

Brown could score 22ppg in his sleep in transition, open looks and driving aggressive closeouts. But he wants to score 28ppg by dribbling like Kyrie and that's why his TO numbers are awful.
