NBA Scout, Coach Break Down Where Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown Can Improve

Jaylen Brown will enter training camp for the Boston Celtics a newly wealthy man. Well, OK, he was already doing pretty well, but his new supermax deal worth nearly $300 million will make him No. 2 on the highest-paid list when the deal starts in 2024-25, and should keep him among the 10-best paid players in the league through 2026-2027.

Statistically, Brown has blossomed in recent years, and he averaged 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season to earn a second-team All-NBA selection. That, theoretically, puts him in the Top 10 among NBA players, yet you’d be hard-pressed to find folks around the league who would call him a Top 10 player.
