The Boston Celtics upset much of their fan base when they were unable to swing a trade for an established veteran and instead selected Jaylen Brown with the No. 3 overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft. That emotion even carried over to some of its younger fans. At a basketball camp that the team hosted at a local community center on Wednesday, a young boy had a chance to play one-on-one against Brown. "He challenged me, and I just blacked out," Brown told MassLive.com. "He said, 'You ain't good.' He said, 'Ben Simmons is better.' So I said, 'All right, OK.'" Then this happened: Brown's lack of mercy on the court, no matter how young the person defending him is, could make Celtics fans happy the team did not trade the No. 3 pick after all.
