When Jaylen Brown was coming out of the University of California as a one-and-done freshman, the biggest knock on his game was the lack of a consistent jump shot. In 34 games with the Golden Bears, Brown hit just 29.4% of his 102 three-point attempts and only 65.4% of his 217 free throws. The concerns about how his shot would translate were legitimate.
Fast forward two years and Brown is enjoying one of the hottest streaks of his career from beyond the arc, and the timing couldn’t be better for a Celtics team that will be forced to persevere through the postseason without its most productive offensive player in Kyrie Irving.
