Bulpett: Jaylen Brown’s potential seems sky high

As for the Celtics’ repeated attempts to deal for him, Butler said, “It’s always good to feel wanted. You know, I’ll leave it at that.”

There are some around the NBA, however, who believe the Celtics may already have a 6-foot-7 star — if they are willing to be patient. (And, get this, Butler is a part of that chorus.)

In the 10 games since the All-Star break, Jaylen Brown is averaging 11.5 points on 54.4 percent shooting (46.7 percent on 3-pointers) in a little more than 24 minutes a game. Certainly it’s important to see where Brown is now, but even greater in the grand Shamrock scheme is what the 20-year-old rookie can be next season and beyond.

To this, Brown states a belief that he can eventually provide even more than Butler.

“I have high expectations for myself, but it doesn’t have a limit,” said Brown after posting 11 points and three rebounds in 25 minutes yesterday. “I’m not saying that Jimmy Butler’s my limit. I think I can be better one day. I have all respect for him, and he’ll probably tell me he wants me to try to be better than him, too. So I’ve just got to keep working, and everything will fall into place.”

:snoop: Larry Sanders to the Cavs. Danny c'mon, we need shot blocking and rebounding. I don't care if Sanders is out of shape right now, we have a bunch of lame duck players who will be out of here next year who ain't getting playing time anyway. You mean to tell me we couldn't release one of them to get Sanders?
