If you had to guess right now, will Jaylen Brown’s career be closer to Jeff Green or Kawhi/PG?

Rn? Jeff.
Jaylen can’t dribble well and he can’t really score in a variety of ways.

Corey Maggette

That may be optimistic right now. Maggette isn’t the type of player that modern fans love, but he had such a scoring instinct. He’d crash and get free throws in droves.

Yeah I'd say if Brown could be a Maggette type it would be optimistic...He was great but really never played a full season. Was always banged up.
If he could produce anything like Maggette, Celtics fans I'm sure would be ecstatic.

I don’t think Celtics fans would admit as much but I agree. I do think Brown will be better than Jeff Green though. I don’t know if Green was ever a productive player in reality. Brown can at least be a solid starter.

Jeff Green was a productive player early in his career and he is productive right now.

Maggette and Jeff Green both had really respectable peaks, I would have no problem with Jaylen being compared to their peaks. This year people's opinions of him have cooled off though

I agree with ya there

Jeff Green. Brown has shown flashes but not enough to really impress me. Tatum on the other hand...

Has to be Jeff Green, even the most optimistic trajectories before this season were not going to reach Kawhi or PG levels. Jeff Green is a really good player, especially for portions of his career...that would be a good goal for Jaylen

Closer to Jeff if Celts don't trade him
Kawhi/PG if he get more opportunity on another team. Dude's extremely smart, I have more faith in him getting the most out of his talent than most other youngsters.

Jeff Green. I don't see the highupside potential yet.
That said, Brown is one of my favorite non-sixers.
It took kawhi 3 years for him to show his all star status
Kawhi is the exception, not the rule.
Butler also. And Brown was younger than both when he was drafted.
Why is he getting Kawhi comparisons lol, their games aren’t very similar at all. I see him ending up as a poor man’s Jimmy Butler, which is not a bad player at all
The averaged 18 a game in the postseason
