Jaylen Brown when asked if the new look Celtics are the best starting 5 he’s been apart of

The Boston Celtics have gotten off to a strong 4-0 start this season, and their most recent victory was a dominant 155-104 blowout against the Indiana Pacers. In that game, Jaylen Brown was among eight Celtics players who scored in double figures, with Jason Tatum leading the way with 30 points. Newcomers Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday contributed 13 and 15 points, respectively.

Despite having made deep playoff runs in recent years, the Celtics made significant changes by acquiring Porzingis from the Washington Wizards. The trade went through several iterations before the Celtics secured the deal. Additionally, the team acquired Holiday from the Portland Trail Blazers following Damian Lillard’s move to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics recognized the need for an elite defensive point guard to counter the addition of Lillard to the Bucks’ roster, making Holiday’s acquisition a strategic move.

Jaylen Brown has been part of talented Celtics teams in the past, but this season’s team has shown early promise. While it’s a long season, the Celtics’ starting five, if they can maintain good health, looks poised to be the best group that Brown has played with.
