Boston Celtics: 4 most important players during C’s recent surge

Boston Celtics player No. 2) Jaylen Brown

Not a big surprise here, but Jaylen Brown has been balling out all season long and especially during the past ten games to keep the Boston Celtics hot.

Brown had been struggling with injuries earlier this season, but ever since he came back fully healthy, he’s been showing the league how great he really is.

The 2022 All-Star snub has been playing great on offense, putting up 23 points per game on 46% shooting. While his 3-point shot has been off a bit (31%), he still manages to drive to the hoop and assert himself at the rim as a dominant presence.

When the young star does that, it opens up a lot of opportunities to help his team in more ways than scoring. Driving to the rim will attract defenders since he is so consistent at the rim, which allows him to make passes to other open players and gather some assists.

He’s averaging only four dimes per game, but makes himself known at the rim in other ways.

When it comes to rebounding, the wing is grabbing boards at a respectable clip of seven per game over the last ten games.

During the surge that Boston is on, his best game arguably was the blowout win against the Sacramento Kings where he had 30 points on 58% shooting in under 24 minutes.

He added on ten boards and three assists that game, but more impressive, zero turnovers.

As the season continues, it would be great to see Jaylen Brown continue making big strides, as he does every single year.
