Does Jaylen Brown believe the tantalizing start to his NBA career has debunked the notion he’s “too smart” for basketball?
Several reporters wanted to know the answer before the Rising Stars game at the Staples Center Friday evening. Brown — who led all scorers with 35 points for Team USA — was asked multiple times during pregame media availability for his thoughts on a pre-draft scouting profile that stated he could be “too smart for the league.”
“It describes you as someone with an extremely intelligent and inquisitive nature that doesn’t fit the mold of a so-called basketball player,” a reporter relayed to the Celtics forward.
