Brown has been keeping the Celtics afloat this season, and he had an amazing December, where he averaged 30 points per game in the month. Outside of that, he's been playing well all season, and some have even started to put him in MVP conversations, including Draymond Green .
"He should just be talking about who's the best player in the NBA right now," Green said on his podcast. "That's the type of basketball Jaylen Brown has been playing. I'm not sure how he hasn't moved into top three of MVP voting."
Before their Chicago Bulls faced the Celtics, head coach Billy Donovan shared the same sentiments .
"I got a lot of respect for Jaylen," Donovan said. "He's obviously playing at, probably an MVP level, at least in consideration."
