Will star Boston Celtics forwards Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown make one of the 2023-24 NBA All-Defensive teams this season? The Boston duo entered the season with a shared goal of making the All-Defense Team, a commitment they seem to be living up to so far.
Are they on track to meet their admittedly lofty individual but also shared goal? And how often have they impacted the defensive side of the ball for the Celtics so far this season in their drive to a league-best 20-5 record and a franchise-record 14-0 record at TD Garden so far this season? Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said before the season that he wants the team to be top 5 in both offense and defense.
If Tatum and Brown keep progressing and taking pride on defense, while the team culture emphasizes that end of the floor, the Celtics have a strong chance of meeting their lofty defensive goals this season.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear the hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast weigh in on Tatum, Brown, and Boston’s defense.
