Who is Brown
Jaylen Brown was the third pick in 2016, drafted by the Boston Celtics after playing college basketball for the California Golden Bears. Boston is the team that shaped his professional identity: he developed there into a forward, with shooting guard and small forward as his listed positions, and he became an NBA champion and Finals MVP. His Boston years produced those honours, and now the NBA lists him with the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown is also a member of the United States men's national basketball team. The forward's career began in Boston and now continues in Philadelphia. At twenty-nine, he carries a veteran's game into the current season, with his path running from draft-night promise in Boston to a new chapter in Philadelphia.
