If he still remains evasive about his future, Jaylen Brown does not miss his present since the Boston player is clearly having the best season of his career with 27 points and 7 rebounds on average.
It is thus remarkable on the ground, and even more when Jayson Tatum is not there. Against the Spurs, the All-Star was not held and Jaylen Brown therefore donned the boss costume with 41 points at 18/29 to shoot and 13 rebounds. This season, when “JT” is absent, Jaylen Brown is shooting 32 points per game.
“He is the best defender in the league”announces Malcolm Brogdon bluntly for Mass Live. “He deserves to be on an All-NBA Team. He will be part of it this season. His game speaks for itself. When Tatum isn’t around, he’s our first option and he’s showing that he can do that. Since he’s been in the league, he’s grown by leaps and bounds. He plays at a very high level. »
With his performances and Boston’s ranking, second in the East, Jaylen Brown is clearly a credible candidate to finish in one of the three All-NBA Teams. Already double All-Star, he has not yet reached this milestone.
” It’s a challenge “, he assures. “I do my job: whether it’s scoring, defending or rebounding. I’ve always been proud of that, since I’ve been in Boston: doing what I’m asked to do. No matter the challenge, I take it up with excitement and determination. I try, year after year, to be the best version of myself in the role I am assigned. I feel good, I’m in a team that wins 50 matches. »
Joe Mazzulla insists on his star’s game intelligence.
“He always had this ability to score points, but now he knows how to break a defense,” analyzes the coach for The Athletic. “He understands how the defense is organized in front of him, he anticipates the aids, knows where they will come from. He makes the right choice. His points are important obviously, but his decisions and his reading are much better. It must be emphasized because he works every day for this. »
