How will Jayson Tatum fit on the Boston Celtics given the rise of Jaylen Brown?

How will Jayson Tatum fit on the Boston Celtics given the rise of Jaylen Brown? This might sound like old hat to some fans of the storied ball club, given all the (silly, in retrospect) handwringing over whether the Jays can win a title together no that this has been proven definitively vs. the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals.

But there is a real case to be made that a style of play that has worked so well for Boston and Brown in Tatum’s absence might be messed up a bit (or even a lot, depending on how players react to any turbulence from JT’s return) should Taco Jay struggle to fit in, or let Brown hold the reigns. And while these outcomes seem unlikely, they are also at least worth talking through.
