2. Jaylen Brown

It appears that Kyrie Irving and Jaylen Brown didn’t have the greatest relationship while the point guard was in Boston. When Irving called out the young players, Brown believed that there shouldn’t be any finger pointing.

Also Brown has had some interesting Instagram posts that make it really seem like he is happy that Kyrie is gone.

So now Brown will have to step up. He is an explosive player that knows how to get to the rim, but the Celtics will need him to increase his scoring output.

The key for Brown will be improving his perimeter shooting. If he can shoot close to 40 percent from 3 point range that would help the Celtics out a lot.

This will be a sink or swim season for Brown. It’s time for him to step up and be a major factor. The Celtics drafted him 3rd overall. Let’s see if he can live up to those expectations.
