Future Watch: Jaylen Brown Rookie Basketball Cards, CelticsFuture Watch: Jaylen Brown Rookie Basketball Cards, Celtics – A 6′-7″, 225lb, small forward, Jaylen Brown was selected by the Boston Celtics with the second overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. He is a former McDonald’s and Parade All-American. A native of Marietta, Georgia, he was named Mr. Georgia Basketball in 2015.

As a freshman for the California Golden Bears, Brown earned First Team All-Pac 12 and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors. In his only season with the team, he put up per game averages of 14.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Drawing comparisons to Jason Richardson and Jimmy Butler, his NBA Draft Profile states: “He is a playmaking wing who is a natural slasher. He is dangerous off the dribble. Brown possesses supreme body control and balance and is a downhill player. His slashing instincts are elite. He reads and reacts quickly, which also helps him in the rebounding department. There is no question about whether or not he’ll be able to create his own shot at the next level.” Marc D’Amico, NBA Draft Analyst

In NBA Summer League action he averaged 16.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 steals in six games.

His ability to create his own shot will serve him well at the next level. His effort and energy on the defensive end of the floor will endear him to fans and coaches alike.
