Jaylen Brown will be able to shoot any shot he wants next season. He'll be encouraged to do so, actually, with Jayson Tatum sidelined and Kristaps Porzingis traded, which should lead to a career year scoring the ball. But exactly how much will Jaylen Brown score in 2025-26? Enough to lead the league in scoring?

It's not out of the question... but it would be a pretty monster achievement. Brown's current career mark for points per game is 26.6, which he set in 2022-23. Scoring 25-plus each night, even in today's high-scoring league, is a feat.
