Can star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown become a top ten player in the NBA in Jayson Tatum’s absence? If so, what would that look like in practice? The Georgia native has an opportunity to helm the Celtics as its focal point while his injured teammate recovers from a torn Achilles tendon next season — could Brown realistically make the leap into one of the top stars in the league?
The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn recently laid out what he thinks the Cal alum would need to add to his game (and what he would need to remove from it) to get to such a lofty status on an episode of his CLNS Media “The Big Three NBA” podcast with cohost A. Sherrod Blakely.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about how Brown could elevate his game.
