Can Jaylen Brown become a reliable playmaker?

Photo by Brian Babineau/NBAE via The Celtics star can score, but his next evolution will be harnessing that talent and creating for others. Jaylen Brown. The $300 million man. Fresh off unequivocally the best season of his career, the Boston Celtics star landed the then-largest contract in NBA history. His All-NBA Second Team selection made him eligible for the supermax, and the Celtics obliged, handing him a five-year, $304 extension. Unfortunately, between his dominant regular-season campaign and the signing of his shiny new deal, Brown churned in one of the worst...

Expect more touches for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum as part of a new Big Three in Boston

Expect more touches for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum as part of a new Big Three in Boston

Jim Rassol-USA TODAY Sports With the addition of Kristaps Porzingis, it’s the first time that the Jays will be paired with a big to form a Big Three. Ever since Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have been the undisputed cornerstones of the franchise, the third star was always a guard, whether the star was Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, or to a certain extent, Marcus Smart. This year will be different. It’s still the two-man show, but the third star will be standing at 7’3 instead of 6’3. Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports You want your stars with...

The Celtics paid Jaylen Brown — now how do they maximize him?

The Celtics paid Jaylen Brown — now how do they maximize him?

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Brown has skills he needs to improve, but Boston can make his job easier, too. When the Boston Celtics gave Jaylen Brown the richest NBA contract ever with a five-year, $304 million extension, they implicitly asserted that Brown’s game and career trajectory will place him among the elite players in basketball. Brown reaching that stratosphere is a two-pronged mission. It requires the 26-year-old to commit to ironing out the issues and inconsistencies that have dotted his rise to stardom so far. But it’s also on the Celtics coaching...

Can the Celtics achieve the remarkable feat of becoming a breakthrough NBA champion?

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Teams rarely win without a previous NBA champion in the locker room. The addition of Sam Cassell should help.  Last season, the Celtics had an undeniably loaded roster: two scoring machines in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the 6th Man of the Year in Malcolm Brogdon, and two of the league’s premier defensive guards in Marcus Smart and Derrick White. They had Finals experience, a veteran center, and a top-tier defensive big coming off the bench. They were favored to win almost every game they played, but, as we all know, fell...

For the past two seasons, the Boston Celtics have been able to roll out one of Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown with almost every group they put on the floor. Rarely have they run lineups with both stars on the bench. It’s a luxury not many teams around the league have. This summer, the Celtics added to their pool of top shelf wealth, trading for Kristaps Porzingis. He’ll be the first true “third star”...
