“It's been an honor to coach him”: Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla heaps praise on Jaylen Brown after heroics vs Detroit Pistons

The Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has stated that it has been an ‘honour’ to coach a player of the quality of Jaylen Brown.

The 27-year-old has been a star performer for the Celtics in the ongoing campaign and had another fabulous night in the Celtics' recent win against the Detroit Pistons where he registered 33 points to go with four rebounds.

After the match, Mazzulla was full of praise for Brown and stated that the shooting guard is not only performing himself but has also become a reason for the improved performances of his teammates.

"I've just seen great stuff. I love just the way he's carrying himself out there on the court," said Mazzulla. "He's processing each and every possession on both ends of the floor. He's taking the shots that he wants. He's making plays for himself, for his teammates. It's been an honour to coach him. He's been playing just well-rounded basketball on both ends, so it's been fun to watch.”

The Celtics went on to win the contest against the Pistons with a score of 129-102 at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Friday. Brown is having a fabulous season for the Celtics where he is contributing 23.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
