Before the season, Jaylen Brown said that he wanted to make the All-Defensive First Team. So far, he’s lived up to his word.
Defense looks different for Brown every night. One game, he’ll be guarding Damian Lillard. The next, he’ll be taking on Anthony Edwards. But on Saturday night, he stood toe-to-toe with Zion Williamson.
The New Orleans Pelicans are fighting for home-court advantage in the playoffs, and Williamson has played a career-high 63 games already. The 6-foot-6, 284-pound forward is an absolute freight train, and Brown was tasked with standing in his way.
“Different strategy than usual, but whatever the team needs,” Brown said.
