With the 3rd overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics selected Jaylen Brown. At the time, he was booed. He wasn’t expected to be selected until the 8th pick according to scout rankings. Many of them said that he was “too smart,” and they weren’t sure if he was committed enough to basketball to succeed in the NBA. Now? Well, you know the story.
Now, he’s an NBA champion, and a Finals MVP to boot. Oh, and the scouts were right - he is wicked smaht.
