Jayson Tatum And Jaylen Brown Are The League’s Highest Scoring Duo

Originally posted on Fadeaway World | By Lee Tran | Last updated 4/16/21

The Boston Celtics are clearly a team that revolves around its two superstars, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Both players fit a similar mold: a two-way wing that can make plays for themselves, and potentially their teammates. Both have had All-Star selections and are locked up for the near future. It seems as though not only the future but also the present are looking good for the Boston Celtics.

One of the traits both Brown and Tatum possess, is their uncanny ability to score. Jaylen Brown is averaging 24.6 PPG, while Jayson Tatum is putting up 25.6 PPG. They are both premier scorers, who can get buckets in a variety of ways. In fact, they are the top-scoring duo in the league.

None of the names on this list are really surprising, but it is interesting to see that the two young Celtics’ superstars are showing what they can do together. The potential for a future dynasty is there for the Boston Celtics. Having two stars from the draft to build around is a blessing for any franchise, and the Boston Celtics could have a dominant team for years to come. While this achievement is a good start, there is still more the Boston Celtics duo could accomplish. They could potentially win a championship for the future, and their ability to score highlights just how bright the future is.
