Jaylen Brown did a remarkable job knocking down the rookie wall, and there is strong evidence he’s kept his hard hat on so far in the offseason. He has followed through on his pledge to work harder and, because of his experience, smarter in these months as he looks toward, first, summer league, then his second season.
Brown didn’t get the same kind of opportunities he would have on a lesser team, but by all accounts his rookie year was a success, particularly as displayed in the conference finals when his role increased.
“And I still think there’s so much more to show,” he told the Herald.
