Has Jaylen Brown Reached Jayson Tatum’s Level?

Jaylen Brown: “It’s been great. Definitely trying to accept the challenge. I’m excited about this year in general. We have a great group ... we’re all embracing that challenge. Personally to be in a new and different role, with a lot of responsibility, I love, I want to handle that ... make sure I get other guys involved and make sure I be the best leader I can be.”

Brad Stevens: “He’s got a lot on his plate ... he wants to have a lot on his plate.”
