Watching Jayden Brewer for the first time in the first of the MIB Fall League, his overall athleticism and length was most notable.  He popped on the court full of players who are athletic.  As that night and week three games went on, his overall skill set was evident and impressive.

The negative?  His shot mechanics need work.  Brewer certainly elevates on his shots, and he will hit his share off the catch.  Off the dribble is where it will need to improve the most.  That said, he does have the requisite touch and varied ability to finish in the paint, not just at the rim, but floaters and scoops shots too.

The rest of his game is high major caliber.  Defensively, he's a terror on the ball, and he has great instincts off the ball too.  He didn't get drawn into trying to falling for ball fakes, as opponents figured out he was going to contest every play he could.  He still showed good discipline.

Most impressive was his playmaking, especially in the half court.  It's easy to make plays with positive numbers, but his half court reads were equally impressive.  That means Brewer is a 6'5", freakishly athletic playmaker.

He may never be a great shooter, but he can change the game in a lot of ways on both sides of the ball.
