NBA Writer Says Celtics’ Jaylen Brown Playing At ‘All-NBA Level’

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has accomplished a lot in his career. He’s a four-time All-Star, NBA champion and NBA Finals MVP, among other things. Brown was also a member of the All-NBA second team for the 2022-23 season and NBC Sports’ Kurt Helin wrote on Monday that the 29-year-old could earn another All-NBA honor during the 2025-26 campaign. “Brown has demonstrated that he can handle being the No. 1 option, averaging 28 points per game with an impressive 61 true shooting percentage — he is playing at an All-NBA level,” the site’s lead NBA writer said. “All of last season he scored 30+ nine times, he’s already done it six times this season. Brown has proven the doubters wrong.” Brown enters Monday averaging a career-high 28.0 points per contest, while posting 4.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 31.8 minutes per game as well.

Brown’s also shooting a career-best .522 from the field and .785 from the free throw line. Without the former third overall pick, the Celtics (5-6) would be nowhere near .500 and likely close to the bottom of the NBA standings.
