Should Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown be a First-Team All-NBA selection?

Q: What are Jaylen Brown's average statistics for the season?

Jaylen Brown is averaging 28.8 points, 7 rebounds, and 5.2 assists this season.

Q: Why is Jaylen Brown considered for First-Team All-NBA selection?

Brown's impressive performance and leadership, especially during Jayson Tatum's absence, have made him a strong candidate for the First-Team All-NBA selection.

Q: How did the Boston Celtics perform this season with Jaylen Brown?

The Boston Celtics secured the second seed in the Eastern Conference, largely due to Jaylen Brown's contributions during the season.

Jaylen Brown has enjoyed a career year. In the absence of Jayson Tatum, who missed 62 games with a torn Achilles, the explosive forward led the Boston Celtics to the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Impressively, he did this while leading a team that wasn't expected to be competitive this year, due to the offseason moves Brad Stevens made to begin a retooling phase. As the season wore on, and Brown's performances stayed steady, talk of a potential MVP case began to gather speed. While Brown is unlikely to secure that award, the fact that he's consistently among the top-5 to top-8 names on the MVP ladder speaks volumes about the impact he's had on the Celtics' season and their overall record. In 70 games, Brown is averaging 28.8 points, 7 rebounds and 5.2 assists, shooting 52.3% from two-point range and 34.4% from deep. As such, Brown should be a lock for an All-NBA team this season, potentially as a First Team selection. During a recent episode of WEEI's "Jones and Keefe" show, Justin Turpin joined Adam Jones and Richard Keefe to discuss Brown's All-NBA case and whether he should be a First Team selection, despite the high level of competition for a spot.
