>Mazzulla reiterated the importance of Smart and the back court’s passing, while **Brown is setting 3.0 screens per game for Tatum, creating 1.42 points per possession for the Celtics. He’s averaging 1.0 screen assists per game, up from 0.1 last season.**
Yes. I want more.

>Interim head coach Joe Mazzulla adjusted Brown’s role entering this season, shifting playmaking toward the guards and placing off-ball activity on his stars. It led to a MVP-level start for Jayson Tatum and an uneven one for Brown, even while both share scoring and shooting output as evenly as they ever have in their careers.
This is such an interesting paragraph because I feel like Jaylen Brown was the consensus better off-ball producer.
Tatum was better at creating opportunities, Brown was better at capitalising on opportunities. Tatum’s gravity created space, Brown is one of the most explosive scorers when it comes to attacking space. Both had a varied shot diet but more of Brown’s shots were off the catch and he was the more active cutter.
No doubt Brown will adjust, he has the tools for it, but I would have assumed he’d have an easier time with the change than Tatum.
