Where Jaylen Brown Ranks On All-Time Boston Celtics Statistical Lists

Jaylen Brown spent 10 seasons playing 674 regular season games for the Boston Celtics before being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. Over that time, he has amassed a lot of big statistics for the Celtics which will keep him in the conversation of all-time greats for a long time.

Here's a look at where his statistical accomplishments rank all-time.

Brown's 28.7 points per game last season tied him for the fifth-highest single-season scoring average in team history.

Player Season Scoring average

Jayson Tatum 2022-23 30.1

Larry Bird 1987-88 29.9

Isaiah Thomas 2016-17 28.9

John Havlicek 1970-71 28.9

Jaylen Brown 2025-26 28.7

Larry Bird 1984-85 28.7

Larry Bird 1986-87 28.1

John Havlicek 1971-72 27.5

Jayson Tatum 2021-22 26.9

Jayson Tatum 2023-24 26.9

To go along with that, Brown's final season saw him make the sixth-most field goals per game in a single season (10.4), and take the seventh-most field goal attempts per game (21.7). However, if you equalize the minutes, Brown averaged 10.8 field goals per 36 minutes, the most in a single season in team history. He remained seventh in field goal attempts per 36 minutes at 22.7.

Moving on to the all-time rankings, Brown's totals over 10 years put him in impressive company. He finished his Celtics career as Boston's 10th all-time leading scorer.

Player Points

Larry Bird 21,791

Robert Parish 18,245

Bob Cousy 16,955

Sam Jones 15,411

Bill Russell 14,522

Jayson Tatum 14,132

Jaylen Brown 13,474

Brown averaged 20 points per game over his career, which is good for eighth overall.

A lot of those points came via the three-pointer. The top three in team history in three-point field goal makes and attempts are the same.

Player 3-point attempts 3-point FG

Paul Pierce 4928 1823

Jayson Tatum 4324 1593

Jaylen Brown 3589 1284

Pierce, Tatum, and Brown are the only three Celtics with more than 1,000 made threes and more than 3,000 attempts. Derrick White and Payton Pritchard should get to 1,000 makes this season.

Brown is 42nd overall in steals per game, at 1.0.

Brown is 17th overall in total rebounds (3,700), but he's seventh overall in defensive rebounds

Player Defensive Rebounds

Robert Parish 7,601

Larry Bird 7,217

Paul Pierce 5,643

Dave Cowens 4,921

Al Horford 2,495

You'll notice that Bill Russell is not on this list despite his 21,620 total rebounds, which is second all-time to Wilt Chamberlain's 23,924. That's because the NBA didn't start breaking down rebounding into offensive and defensive until the 1973-74 season. So while Russell undoubtedly leads Boston in total defensive rebounds, we don't know what that number actually is, so he doesn't appear on the list.

Something similar can be said for blocks and steals, which also didn't begin as official stats until '73-74. Russell should lead the Celtics in blocks but those weren't counted in his day. He should also be somewhere at or near the top of the steals list.
