I’ve been told the post-up is dead. If that is the case, Jaylen Brown is a necromancer (and so is Kristaps Porzingis for that matter). He’s not only revived the post-up; he’s thrived with it. Jaylen has long been an efficient post-up scorer, able to bully defenders, spin off either shoulder and get to the rim, or simply bury one of his picture-perfect fades.
But as Jaylen has matured, he’s developed a deeper understanding of the game, and orca hunting patterns. He’s now leveraging his elite post-up scoring to playmake for his teammates.
