Past simple

Jayson Tatum chipped in with 16 points, but it was Brown seven of 10 performance from behind the arc that spearheaded Boston's win over Memphis.

Kendrick Perkins, here with us and Kendrick will start with you here.

Who do you believe is the best player on the Celtics roster today?

Well, Charlie, with all due respect to Jason Tatum, I'm a huge fan of Jayson Tatum.

I think he's a rising star in this league, but so is Jalen Brown.

Jalen Brown is the best player on the Boston Celtics, best all around player.

And now the Onley edge that Jayson Tatum had over Jalen Brown was his ability to get buckets Jalen Brown has took.

That next step is nothing Jalen Brown can't do offensively that no one else could do in the league.

He could drive to the basket with with his right or left hand finish strong at the rim.

His three point percentage is up, and here's why.

I knew Here's what I knew when I knew that Jalen Brown took the leak, that he is a elite player in this league.

It is not this sample size that we're seeing right now.

It's what he did last year in the bubble in the postseason.

He was the most consistent player on the Celtics on the Celtic team.

Last year, when Gordon Haywood went out, it was his time to step up.

Just think about what he did before the pandemic, averaging 20 points tonight and not getting a single play call for him.

He was the fourth option, shooting 50% from the field.

So coming into this season, it's a reason why in the preseason I picked Jalen Brown toe win most improved player because I said one.

Finally, Gordon Haywood is gone and it's finally out of his way to kill Bills hurt.

We're gonna watch Jalen Brown emerging to the superstar that he is, and in my opinion, not only is he's excellent on the offensive end, but on the defensive end he's one of one because switch one through five pick and rolls and there's one of the best elite defenders at the wing position that we have in this league.

So when I'm looking at in this league, so when I'm looking at this Boston Celtic team is no doubt my mind with all due respect to Jayson Tatum, but Jalen Brown is the best player on the Boston Celtics.

But I don't think that Jason Tatum or excuse me that Jalen Brown is taking the mantle just yet and I'm not wrong.

I understand that your basketball experience gives you a little more insight or a lot more insight than I have.

You're disagreeing with the whole Celtics organization.

You're disagreeing with Brad Stevens, like if you watch those games, you said it yourself.

Jayson Tatum has more plays, Call for him.

That's why they give him the ball and you talk about who's the best player At the end of games.

We find out who teams really believe in who teams really trust in those clutch situations and close situations.

Jayson Tatum outscored Jalen ready, almost doubled him up one 42 to 75 in those situations, and it's still cold percentage.

Don't even try to pull out because I looked that up to.

He has a higher field goal percentage in those situations.

Jalen Brown's 40% in in those situations, and he has a higher usage rates with to me suggests that Brad Stevens, Danny Ainge Everybody in that building believes that he is a better player and I agree with them.

Maybe Jalen Brown is the most improved player, but there's a long step from most improved player to best player on the team.

Just because in the clutch time that your number is called doesn't mean that you're the best player.

Like I said, Jalen Brown just had to wait his turn.

Kyrie Urban was in Jason Tatum way when Kyrie Irving left, did Jayson Tatum was ableto emerge here.

Here's the thing you're talking about everybody in the Celtic organization.

Guess who's tied to the Celtic organization more than anybody in the media.

Yours truly so When you think of this right, though, these rumors that we've been hearing about Oh, it's possible that the Celtics are now looking to trade for James Harden.

Guess why the trade happened happened because they value Jalen Brown that much.

By the way, James Harden is a M V P candidate.

Because they know that this guy is on the verge of shocking the world like people like yourself ensuring you that he is on the an elite.

Level off Jayson Tatum and you talk about usage rate.

Go check the usage rate right now and see what the usage rate for Jalen Brown.

Yeah, why Jalen Brown This season's Dominy.

Don't don't give you laying in the He's the fourth Hey was the fourth option.

You know what is different when you're the number one option?

Like you have a you're in a different situation and back to your trade conversations.

I believe that they are calling asking about Jalen Brown and I believe that the South they're saying, No, we can't come off of him because he is too good.

You know who they ain't ain't asking about Jason Tatum because they know that is a wasted time.

Time is too precious toe waste time bringing up names that you know they won't even consider.

Jayson Tatum is untouchable in that organization.

The Rockets know that Everybody knows that when you call and make a trade, you better shoot for Jalen Brown because you ain't gonna get a call back.

If you say Jason Tatum and guess what happened.

The Rockets found out that Jalen Brown is untouchable to, and this is what I'm trying to tell you.

He's leading the team in scoring, averaging 28 points a game on 50% on 56% shooting.

And when you look at what Jalen Brown is doing, he is this season.

Right now, he's playing at a different pace than any other Celtic player on the on the team.

His pace is different the way that he's attacking the basket.

Oh, despite of working for E work for the Boston Network.

Remember last year when Jayson Tatum was blacking out?

We had 42 points in three quarters, but did you watch the Selfie game against the Indiana Pacers when time and time again Jalen Brown kept him alive?

Come up with the big steals in the big moments?
