Jaylen Brown has enjoyed a career year. In the absence of Jayson Tatum, who missed 62 games with a torn Achilles, the explosive forward led the Boston Celtics to the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Impressively, he did this while leading a team that wasn't expected to be competitive this year, due to the offseason moves Brad Stevens made to begin a retooling phase.
As the season wore on, and Brown's performances stayed steady, talk of a potential MVP case began to gather speed. While Brown is unlikely to secure that award, the fact that he's consistently among the top-5 to top-8 names on the MVP ladder speaks volumes about the impact he's had on the Celtics' season and their overall record. In 70 games, Brown is averaging 28.8 points, 7 rebounds and 5.2 assists, shooting 52.3% from two-point range and 34.4% from deep.
As such, Brown should be a lock for an All-NBA team this season, potentially as a First Team selection. During a recent episode of WEEI's "Jones and Keefe" show, Justin Turpin joined Adam Jones and Richard Keefe to discuss Brown's All-NBA case and whether he should be a First Team selection, despite the high level of competition for a spot.
