The Celtics Jaylen Brown is not "too smart for the League" as some NBA analysts broached prior to the 2016 draft - but he apparently is f ollowing the brilliant Albert Einstein's credo: Albert Einstein: "A person who has not made his great contribution to science before the age of 30 will never do so". Count me as one who finds Brown fascinating. He not only is bright as Hell, but he is his own man . He is himself - which puts a bit of Henry David Thoreau in him: Thoreau: "If I am not I, who will be." The 28-year-old shooting guard/small forward recently launched his new line of apparel, 741 .

What happens if all of the 91.0 shot attempts/game taken by Celtics players this season were all 2-point shots?

That means that the 51.4 that were beyond the arc this season yielded 57.0 points per game (at 37.0% accuracy) , but those same 51.4 attempts taken as 2-pointers - and shot with 57.1% accuracy) result in 58.6 points/game. That is only 1.6 points/game more than actually occurred this season for Boston. The question here is - does that make a positive difference in the outcomes for The Green?
