Can star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown become a top ten player in the NBA?
Can star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown become a top ten player in the NBA? Can star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown become a top ten player in the NBA in Jayson Tatum's absence?

The Boston Globe's Gary Washburn recently laid out what he thinks the Cal alum would need to add to his game (and what he would need to remove from it) to get to such a lofty status on an episode of his CLNS Media "The Big Three NBA" podcast with cohost A. Sherrod Blakely. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about how Brown could elevate his game.

Will Jayson Tatum respond in Game 3 of the Boston Celtics East Semis vs. Knicks? Will star forward Jayson Tatum respond in Game 3 of the Boston Celtics 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series with the New York Knicks? The St. Louis native has been very inefficient in his scoring for the Celtics in the East Semis series vs. the Knicks in each of the two Atlantic Division Team's games, helping Boston lose a pair of 20-point leads in the process. Questionable fadeaways and single action possessions led by Tatum have been a considerable part of what has gone wrong for Boston against New York. Will Tatum step up in the third installment of the series, or will the Celtics fall into the dreaded 0-3 series deficit at Madison Square Garden on Saturday (May 9) afternoon?
