East Conf. Finals Game 5 - Cleveland Cavaliers 83-96 Boston Celtics: Celtics' Player Ratings  

Jaylen Brown - 7/10

Jaylen Brown

Stat line: 17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 4-of-15 from the field, 2-of-8 on threes

The second-year stud has been a revelation in these playoffs, so while 17 points might be a good tally for an inferior player, Brown has shown to us that he can consistently shoot better than the 26.6% he shot from the field in this game.

He missed a couple of open looks from deep and a couple of easy layups, while also displaying some over-enthusiasm on fast breaks. For the rest of his display, however, he was his cool, calm self and he was able to guard LeBron without giving up too many points.

Brown can only get better at this stage, with his athleticism, basketball IQ and hustle mentality already making him an above-average player.
