The model has factored Boston guard Jaylen Brown as an athletic ball-handler with great athleticism. Brown gets to the rim with regularity and finishes through contact with ease. The California product is averaging 22 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. On Nov. 17 versus the Raptors, he racked up 23 points and four assists.

The model also knows Charlotte guard LaMelo Ball thrives as a playmaker and shot creator. Ball owns good shooting range to pair with his exceptional court vision. The 22-year-old leads the team in scoring (24.4) and assists (8.3). In his last game, Ball notched 34 points, five rebounds, and nine assists.
