Boston Celtics: 3 teams Jaylen Brown can reach superstar status with

Team No. 2) Oklahoma City Thunder

Big-twos are seemingly all the rage in the NBA of today. From both LA teams with combinations of LeBron James & Anthony Davis (Lakers) and Kawhi Leonard & Paul George (Clippers) to the upper-echelon teams in the Eastern Conference with Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo & Khris Middleton and the Boston Celtics’ own Jayson Tatum & Kemba Walker, dynamic-duos are a dime a dozen across the league’s landscape.

The best teams seem to have their duos already in place, while the teams on the rise are continually looking to find theirs.

For a team like the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have seemingly bypassed the typical “rebuild and slump” method, they currently have their young building block of the future in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but running alongside him there appears to be no mainstay.

And, yes, I am well aware that Chris Paul is currently the leader of this cinderella story squad and, thus, is the 1A to Gilgeous-Alexander’s 1B, but it’s a well-hypothesized theory that the future Hall of Fame point guard likely will be off the roster by the time the 2020-21 season rolls around, which creates the idea that that slot will be available moving forward.

With this in mind, Jaylen Brown would likely be a fantastic fit to run alongside the sophomore guard, creating a formidable tandem for years to come, and with Brown as the main option no doubt.

We’ve seen Head Coach Billy Donovan bring talented wings in the past to tremendous heights under his tenure, with examples being Kevin Durant (in 2015-16 he averaged 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, five assists and a game-seven run in the Western Conference Finals) and Paul George (in 2018-19 he averaged a career-high 28 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 2.2 steals and a third-place finish in the MVP voting).

Now, of course, it’s understood that these aforementioned talents are obviously in another tier than Brown at this current time. However, the fourth-year wing has already proven to be a tremendous player with unbelievable potential.

Perhaps with an increased role and under the guidance of the 2020 co-NBA Coach of the Year (voted by the NBCA), his potential could quickly be reached.
