Is Jaylen Brown primed to earn his first All-Star nod in 2020-21?

Jaylen Brown is coming off an impressive season in which he compiled career-highs in points (20.3), rebounds (6.4), assists (2.1), and true-shooting percentage (58.3).

It was exactly the type of season the Celtics hoped for under the circumstances, where a nine-figure extension coupled with a step up in Boston’s hierarchy pressured Brown to live up to a raised bar. He did, and the Celtics exceeded expectations by finishing third in the Eastern Conference because of it.

Despite an increase in quantitative production on a contending team, Brown was not selected to the 2020 All-Star Game.
