Boston Celtics: 2017-18 player grades for Jaylen Brown

Highlights

There were many nights where Brown had eye-opening games. One of those came against the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs.

Brown became the youngest player in Celtics history to score 30 points in a playoff game. Pretty impressive when you think of how many all-time greats played in the city of Boston.

Brown helped lead the Celtics to victory that night, putting together a stat line of 30 points and five rebounds. He also shot 12 3-pointers and made five of them.

Another great game came against the Golden State Warriors. When playing the eventual NBA champions, you need a near perfect game. Brown delivered that night by scoring 22 points and getting seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks. It was an all-around great night and he helped his team beat the NBA’s best.

Lastly, one of many big games was against the Bucks as well. This was arguably his best series of games in the playoffs. In Game 4, he scored 34 points and added eight rebounds and three steals.

Some of his best games of the season came during the playoffs. If that tells us anything, it’s that Brown is not afraid of the spotlight.
