The Celtics selected Brown with the third pick and under the guidance of Brad Stevens, he has shown he can become a premier defender. The 20-year-old has had a steady first campaign and unlike the aforementioned players, he has been fortunate enough to be on a winning team as Boston owned the Brooklyn Nets’ p
