Jaylen Brown is leading the way

Whether it is on or off the court, Jaylen Brown is leading the way for the Celtics. He once again showed that on Sunday by being the best player on the court for Boston.

Brown played the most minutes of any Boston player and also had 21 points. If Brown can continue to score like that, the Celtics will go very far.

The focus has been on the jump that Jayson Tatum has made but Brown has had quite the season as well. Brown averaged 20.4 points and 6.4 rebounds a game.

It seemed like after missing out on the All-Star Game, really motivated Brown. He took his game to a whole new level after that.

Hopefully Brown will continue to perform at such a high level. The focus will be on Tatum and Walker. Brown can exploit this and take advantage of some good matchups.

So it will be interesting to see what Brown does once games begin because he is capable of going off down in Florida.
