The Boston Celtics saw a lot of potential in Jaylen Brown in the 2016 NBA Draft, when they selected him out of UC Berkeley with the third overall pick. Eventually, the team saw him blossom into the superstar it knew he could become.
At 26, Brown is already a two-time NBA All-Star and has helped the Boston Celtics make the 2022 NBA Finals as well as the Conference Finals last season. Therefore, his presence is seen as crucial for the franchise’s long-term success.
Just like Jayson Tatum, we’re talking about a talent Boston has been developing for a while now, so it doesn’t want anyone else to capitalize on his growth. That’s why the Celtics are giving him a record-breaking deal.
