Players the Atlanta Hawks should be interested in No. 3: Jaylen Brown

Fresh off the back of his first finals appearance, Jaylen Brown will have gained a lot of admirers going into the summer. The former All-Star picked up a lot of the slack for the Celtics while Jayson Tatum struggled, forcing Boston to keep the series competitive as they lost in six games against the Golden State Warriors.

This was Brown’s third straight season averaging over 20 points per game for the Celtics as he continues to cement his name in the conversation of the league’s top talents. With averages of 23.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, he doesn’t quite have the same all-around appeal as Murray from stats alone. However, you don’t have to watch for too long to see the impact he has on games and the success which follows!

Murray is likely the focus just now, but in the situation it comes to nothing, the Hawks focusing their efforts on bringing Brown back to Georgia would definitely be a worthy endeavor. His combination with Young would be something to behold as he is another quality playmaker. He is also a strong defender as he has shown for the Celtics.
