Boston Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown gets no love from his peers in a survey predicting Rookie of the Year contenders, but his future remains bright.
A survey released by NBA.com that polled the players from the 2016 NBA draft class reveals who this year’s crop expects to take home the Rookie of the Year award, but one name is mysteriously missing from the results. Despite being drafted with the No. 3 overall pick by the Boston Celtics, Jaylen Brown did not garner a single vote on the survey for the top question on the poll.
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Kris Dunn, a popular target among Celtics fans leading into the draft, received the most votes from his peers at 29 percent.
