The Boston Celtics are extremely lucky to have two young rising stars of the league in their team. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown might be just starting off their promising career, but they have already established their reputation as great NBA players. But if you had an option of choosing one of them, which one would it be? Maybe their one-on-one battle might have you make your decision quicker.

Before diving into that, let’s focus on who these two players actually are. Both in their early twenties, Jayson is 21 and Jaylen is 22. Their size and stature also vary a little. During their time in high school, they were top prospects. Coincidentally, they were also drafted as the third overall pick by the Celtics. Jaylen entered the league in 2016 and Jayson in 2017.

They shined when the Celtics were forced to rely heavily on the two when their players were injury-ridden in 2018 in their playoff run to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Boston Celtics’ duo battle

Last season as well, the duo led the franchise to another Conference Finals. However, the Miami Heat just turned out to be the better team. It looks like the two are ready to take the league by storm as they practice against one another.

A video of Jayson dominating Brown during practice is one worth watching. It also gives us an insight into how the Celtics’ two superstars will look when their next season begins. Tatum has also signed a five-year max extension with the Celtics, so it looks like we will see him go through the prime of his career here.

They are set to face the Milwaukee Bucks in their season opener. It will be interesting to see how these two manage their way around Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Their biggest upside would be that Tatum and Brown have been playing together for longer than their opponents, and their chemistry on and off the court makes their game even better.

The two definitely play better together rather than against each other. Which of the two Jays is your favourite?
