John Wall says Jaylen Brown was playing at an MVP level, and not being introduced last in the starting lineup when Jayson Tatum returned was a trigger point. “Everybody thought Boston was going to be on a rebuild last year, and the way Jaylen Brown played got them there. Now Tatum comes back, and it’s like, ‘Okay, Tatum’s playing well, but he’s not playing at his All-Star level, MVP level.’ So now, is Jaylen Brown taking a back seat? Like, even he said, the first game when Tatum came back, Jaylen Brown was getting called out last every game of the season. Now Tatum’s back, he goes back to second to last. It be those little triggering points that make people, like, go against it. I think that’s when Boston started realizing, like, somebody got to go, and it ain’t going to be Tatum.” (Via @Complex / h/t @katsuxbt )
