For much of the year, the Celtics were a roller coaster ride of emotions. There were peaks--yay, that west coast road trip--and valleys--George Hill and Pat Connaughton are killing us--but Jaylen Brown’s year was marked with steady, consistent improvement.
He certainly had his emotional outbursts.

He had already lost his starting spot to Marcus Smart after a nasty fall in late November.
