While fans of Jaylen Brown are hoping the Boston Celtics wing gets the All-NBA nod so that he will be eligible for the so-called “supermax” extension that will allow the Georgia native to re-sign with the Celtics at a better pay grade and total contract value than he would be able to find elsewhere, the All-NBA race for 2022-23 is a tight one, especially at the guard spot.
Not everyone sees Brown as a lock for All-NBA either, with many seeing only fellow star teammate Jayson Tatum as Boston’s sole All-NBA caliber player this season — including Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes, who sees the St. Louis native as a First Team forward.
“Tatum has done more than enough to land on the All-NBA first team for the second year in a row,” writes Hughes.
