Perhaps the biggest story for the Boston Celtics this season has been the ascension of Jayson Tatum to superstar status. Since being named to his first All-Star team in January, Tatum has been on an absolute scoring tear, averaging over 30 points per game and pouring in several signature games.
However, what has been lost among all the (well deserved) Tatum storylines and hype, and perhaps even overshadowed by it, has been the massive improvement fellow wing Jaylen Brown has made this season.
By all accounts Brown narrowly missed an All-Star selection of his own. It’s likely he suffered from competing against Tatum for one of those final spots, plus being stuck going head-to-head against veterans like Kyle Lowry in the guard category.
