Jaylen guarding 1's and 2's

[DERRENMATTS]

According to Jaylen, Coach Brad has told him he'll spend some time guarding 1's and 2's.

This reveals some things.

- Brad feels Jaylen is quick enough to stay in front of 1's and 2's. A 6'7" SF who has that kind of lateral speed to stay in front of guards is very useful.
- This will allow Brad to play Hayward and Jaylen (and maybe even Tatum) together at the same time in a TALL lineup.
-- For instance, if we wanted to play tall and versatile, Brad can throw out this lineup

Jaylen 6'7"
Hayward 6'8"
Tatum 6'8"
Morris 6'9"
Horford 6'10"

Who would run the offense? Tatum?

Jaylen has said that he wants to make plays for his teammates so he may be working toward being a pg in short spurts. Horford can run the defense for spurts as well.

By years end, we'll possibly see Tatum bringing the ball down court. Remember that Brad doesn't utilize a traditional PG system. It's a total team passing system where everyone contributes moving the ball.
