imo he played an olympic-kobe-like role this whole olympics run. As in he’s known as a scorer, but on a team with the best talent in the world, is capable of switching to a defense-first minded player, but still capable of creating his own looks/knocking down open looks.
10000%. But you also still need elite tier skilled players that can play off ball. The last thing a team with a ton of talent needs is a volume scorer, this is why you need someone like booker being capable of turning into an elite 3&d player rather than finding his own shot.
My “conspiracy theory” for why Brown was snubbed is because coming off a championship, they might see him as egotistical and taking shots away from others rather than playing through lebron and curry. Whereas jrue and white literally have 0 ego and can operate without many touches
