Boston Celtics: 3 Players that disappointed this season

#3 Jaylen Brown

Jaylen Brown

Just like his entire team, Jaylen Brown couldn't get his act together, enough to satisfy the expectations from the blooming 22-year-old talent. Following a breakout sophomore year during his 2017-18 campaign with the Celtics, Brown failed to take a step upwards this year around, as everything around him and his team appeared to fold under pressure.

“(Tatum’s) 21, I’m 22 and we’ve been blessed, to be honest. We came into situations that were winning situations, and we had great roles and handled it well. So this is just a part of it. This is a part of our careers. Our basketball, our best days are yet to come.” - Jaylen Brown [HT: The Athletic]

In the 74 games he played (including 25 starts), Brown averaged 13.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists, all of which were rather demotions to the year prior. His 3-point shooting dropped to 34% (from around 40% last year) as he saw decreased playing minutes due to the return of Irving and Hayward.

With experts predicting the Celtics organisation to go after Anthony Davis in the offseason, it can be expected that Brown (along with Tatum) could be shippped in an enticing package to New Orleans.
