Joe Mazzulla: Jaylen Brown picks and chooses his spots really well

Here’s Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla on what’s been working for Jaylen Brown as a consistent scorer right now (averaging 32.1 PPG/6.5 RPG/5.0 APG/1.3 SPG/0.8 BPG/53.5% FG/56.5% 2-PT/43.6% 3-PT/81.7% FT over his last eight games).

(via BASKETMAN):

“To me, it’s just balance. He picks and chooses his spots really well. I mean, we’re obviously playing a little bit faster, so he’s getting some easy baskets in transition. I think he’s finding a great balance of knowing when to score within the offense versus letting the guys kinda do their thing. So, I think, it’s kinda helping them rest a little bit. And then, he just spends a ton of time on reading the game and the execution of the game. And then obviously, he’s very, very talented. So, I mean, that has a lot to do with it. But I think, just his desire to continue to work and play versus different coverages has really helped, and then his ability to pick and choose his spots really well.”
