Brown has been unstoppable this year despite being 5' 10" and only weighing 185 pounds. He makes up for his lack of height and strength in elite footwork, balance, and quickness. All these attributes make him an elite route runner who can create separation in an instant with a deadly double move.

He is especially lethal against press coverage, where his quickness gives him a step over any defensive back.

His hands are arguably just as good as his route running, as they were on full display against the Colts.

Statistically, Brown is at the top of nearly every major statistical category. His 122 receptions is two shy of 2nd all-time, and is 19 receptions ahead of the next receiver. With, 1,570 receiving yards, Brown is leading the league and broke his own franchise record. He is 3rd in the league in touchdowns, accumulating 12. That is two behind Dez Bryant who has 14. He also leads the league in catches for 1st downs with 80.

Brown’s play this year landed him first in All-Star voting, and he is shoo-in for All-Pro status.

The Boston Celtics were led by last year’s lottery pick center Kelly Olynyk as he put up 17.5 PPG on 40% shooting along with 7.3 RPG. Defensively, Olynyk struggled to keep himself in front of the quicker big men he faced.

Another big name on the Celtics was their 2014 lottery pick, point guard Marcus Smart. Smart proved to be an annoyance to the opposing team on defense, racking up 10 steals over 5 games. Offensively, Smart struggled to shoot efficiently, only having a FG percentage of 29.4%; however, he found himself getting to the free throw line quite often, leading the team with 30 free throw attempts.

Point guard Phil Pressey returned to the summer league to try to maintain his spot on the Celtics' roster. He struggled to shoot, hitting just over 30% from the field. Also, he struggled to hold onto the ball leading the team with 18 turnovers. On a positive note, Pressey dished out 5.5 APG, and was a menace on the defensive end, racking up 11 steals.

Another face that Boston fans may recognize is that of swingman Chris Johnson. Much like Pressey, Johnson is fighting to keep a spot on the Celtics' roster. Uncharacteristically, Johnson struggled to hit the 3, only going 3 of 16 from deep. Despite his struggles, head coach Jay Larranaga praised Johnson for his team play and hustle on both ends of the floor.

Yet another familiar face from last season’s Celtics roster is small forward Chris Babb. Other than showing hustle, Babb did little to help his effort in maintaining a roster spot as he only averaged 5 PPG and 2 RPG.

Mike Moser was an undrafted power forward out of Oregon who greatly increased his stock through the summer league. Over the 5 games Moser averaged 13.6 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1 BPG, while shooting an impressive 42.3% from 3.

2013 second round draft pick Colton Iverson joined the Celtics after a stint in Turkey. The center shot a nice 55% from the field over the course of the 5 games, but his lack of defensive and rebounding effort led to him getting benched, where he saw very limited time.

The rest of the Celtics' roster was filled up by undrafted rookies Devin Oliver and Daniel Coursey who both received little to none minutes, while Euro players O.D. Anosike, Dairis Bertans, and Edwin Jackson also joined the squad.

James Young, Boston’s second first round pick, sat out due to health issues from a prior car accident.

Scouting Report

With an abysmal pass rush in 2013, and with the losses of Brett Keisel, Ziggy Hood, and Al Woods in the offseason, the Steelers desperately needed to find a solid defensive end. They may have found their answer in Notre Dame Defensive End Stephon Tuitt.

At 6-foot-5, 304 lbs., Tuitt fits the mold of a five-technique DE that the Steelers were looking for. Contrary to his physique, Tuitt is very agile and has a high motor. He is solid in pass rushing and blocking the run. He amassed 21.5 sacks, 25 tackles for a loss, and 27 quarterback pressures in 35 career games at Notre Dame. He will also have the pleasure of working with the Steelers' Defensive Line coach John Mitchell who has developed the likes of former Steelers' DEs Aaron Smith and Brett Keisel.

Usually the Steelers will “groom” their rookies behind veterans early in their career, however, the Steelers are looking for an immediate impact this year from their rookies, making it plausible that the Steelers will have Tuitt and Cameron Heyward as their starting DEs, with Steve McLendon at nose tackle.
