Taken number 3 in the 2016 Draft after playing a year at California, Jaylen Brown has to date played five seasons with the Boston Celtics where he emerged as an All-Star

Brown was an All-Rookie player, but he would become a starter in his second year, doubling his PPG from 6.6 to 14.5. His third season was a year of regression, as he lost his shooting touch, and only started 20 Games, but Brown’s fourth year showed the exact progression that the Celtics brass hoped for.  The Shooting Guard increased his PPG to over 20 with his advanced metrics also rising.  

Three years ago, Brown made his first All-Star and had career bests in Points (24.7), Assists (3.4) and PER (19.9), and the year after had similar numbers.  Brown elevated his game to another level last season, adding All-Star number two and pricuring his first All-NBA nod (Third Team).  He set personal bests in Points (26.6) and Rebounds per Game (6.9), and became a top teir player, though he was still direspected.

Brown and the Celtics rocketed to an easy NBA Championship in 2024, with him winning the ECF and NBA Finals Player of the Year.  Brown proved his mettle, though in many circles he enter the 2024-25 Season as disrespected as ever.
