Still Without New Contract, Will Jaylen Brown Breakout This Season?

With the 2019-20 season swiftly approaching, one of the biggest question marks facing the Boston Celtics is the future of Jaylen Brown.

The talented 22-year-old is eligible for a contract extension and faces restricted free agency next summer if he doesn’t come to an agreement by Monday. Boston reportedly has had ongoing discussions with Brown in hopes of locking down a new deal before the Monday deadline, but nothing has come to fruition yet.

Brown was the No. 3 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft and is coming off of an up-and-down season in which he averaged 13.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, but showed promising flashes throughout the year.
