Jaylen Brown joins Philadelphia 76ers after ranking third among league small forwards

The Philadelphia 76ers added Jaylen Brown to the roster following his tenure with the Boston Celtics. HoopsHype ranked the 10-year veteran as the league's third-best small forward, trailing only Cooper Flagg and Jayson Tatum. During the 2025-26 season, Brown recorded career-highs with 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game. Despite finishing sixth in MVP voting and earning All-NBA 2nd Team honors, he now shifts his focus to ending the Philadelphia 76ers' title drought. Brown joins his new team after the Boston Celtics reached the second seed in the Eastern Conference last year. The transition follows a career spent primarily as a rival to the Philadelphia 76ers.
