College career[edit]

On May 1, 2015, Brown committed to play for the Golden Bears at the University of California, Berkeley, under coach Cuonzo Martin and alongside fellow top-recruit Ivan Rabb.[14] He was heralded as an all-around prospect due to his athleticism.[15] Brown took a masters-level class in Berkeley's Cultural Studies of Sport in Education program during his first semester in college.[16] He also gained some fluency in Spanish, stating a goal of learning three more languages by the age of 25.[17][18]

Professional career[edit]

Boston Celtics (2016–present)[edit]

Rookie season (2016–17)[edit]

Brown playing for the Celtics in 2018

On June 23, 2016, Brown was selected by the Boston Celtics with the third overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft.[20] On July 27, he signed his rookie scale contract with the Celtics after averaging 16.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 steals in six Summer League games.[21] He made his debut for the Celtics in their season opener on October 26 against the Brooklyn Nets, scoring nine points on 3-for-4 shooting, while adding two blocked shots in 19-plus minutes.[22] In his first career start on November 3, Brown scored 19 points in a 128–122 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.[23] On January 27, 2017, he scored a career-high 20 points in a 128–98 win over the Orlando Magic.[24] Brown helped the Celtics claim the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, before helping them advance through to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they were defeated by the Cavaliers in five games. Brown had a productive rookie season in 2016–17, with his role off the bench continuing to develop as the year went on. He appeared in 78 games for the Celtics during the regular season, with 20 starts. He averaged 17.2 minutes on the floor, 6.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists.[25] At the season's end, he was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.[26]

2017–18 season[edit]

In the Celtics' 2017–18 season opener against the Cavaliers on October 17, 2017, Brown scored a career-high 25 points in a 102–99 loss.[27] On November 18, he set a new career high with 27 points and helped the Celtics win their 15th straight game with a 110–99 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.[28] On December 13 he had a 26-point effort against the Denver Nuggets.[29] Brown missed two weeks in March 2018 with a concussion.[30] On April 6, 2018, he set a new career high with 32 points in a 111–104 win over the Chicago Bulls.[31] In Game 2 of the Celtics' first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks, Brown had a playoff career-high 30 points in helping Boston take a 2–0 series lead with a 120–106 win. At age 21, Brown became the youngest player in Celtics history to score 30 or more points in a playoff game.[32] In Game 4, Brown scored 34 points in a 104–102 loss.[33] The Celtics went on to win the series in seven games, with Brown sitting out the second-round series opener with a strained right hamstring. He returned to action in Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring 13 points off the bench in a 108–103 win, helping the Celtics take a 2–0 series lead.[34] In Game 5, Brown scored 24 points in a 114–112 series-clinching win.[35] In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Brown scored 27 points in a 109–99 loss to the Cavaliers.[36]

2018–19 season[edit]

Brown struggled to start the season, with the Boston Globe criticizing him for taking too many two-point jump shots and an overall "lack of focus and discipline".[37] After the Celtics unexpectedly started the season with 10 wins and 10 losses, ESPN's Jackie MacMullan wrote that "nobody disappointed [the Celtics] more than Brown."[38] On December 6, Brown returned after missing three games with a bruised lower back and scored a then season-high 21 points in a 128–100 win over the New York Knicks.[39] Two days later, he scored a game-high 23 points in a 133–77 win over the Chicago Bulls.[40] On December 31, he had a season-high 30 points in a 120–111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.[41]

Personal life[edit]

Brown is primarily a vegetarian and has diverse interests including learning Spanish, studying history, meditation, and philosophy. He is also a big soccer fan. Many have described him as an unusual athlete, with many ambitions beyond basketball.[42] Brown, who is African-American, assembled a primarily African-American advisory team prior to the NBA draft, but did not hire an agent.[17] He was criticized by some as "too smart" to play in the NBA.[17] This criticism was taken by some as racial bias against African-Americans.[43][44]

Brown's father is Quenton M. Brown, a professional boxer, who is the 2016 WBU World Champion, the 2015 WBU C.A.M. Heavyweight Champion, and a member of the Hawaii State Boxing Commission Board.[45]

Brown has been critical of President Donald Trump, saying that Trump's character and some of his values make him unfit to be head of state for the United States.[46][clarification needed]

Brown has a YouTube channel, where he has posted several documentary-style video series depicting his life during the season and off-season workouts. The first episode, FCHWPO: Pawn to E4, was posted on January 31, 2017.[47] The video title refers to Brown's love of chess. FCHWPO, which is also Brown's Twitter and Instagram handle, stands for Faith, Consistency, Hard Work Pays Off.[48]

Brown is the cousin of Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback A. J. Bouye, a free agent signing in the NFL.[49]
