Boston Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown had a busy Sunday at the NBA rookie photoshoot, taking pictures and making his first appearance in his new official jersey.

We'll get to the photos, the numbers, and a couple of other notes, but before we go any further, let's take a minute to chuckle at Brown asking fellow rookie Thon Maker of the Milwaukee Bucks the uncomfortable question everyone wants to ask.

I saw clips of Thon dominating in SL, he looks so KG like its scary, he was hitting his shots, blocking shots, running the floor....wish we could have traded up and snagged him.

MY NOTE: Not worth starting its own thread but this happened on the same day as the rookie photo shoot this thread is about.

* Georgios Papagiannis went to the rookie photo shoot without a number on his Kings jersey. "You didn't make the team?" Jaylen Brown asked.

* Jaylen Brown spoke French with Pelicans' Cheick Diallo and Spanish with Nuggets' Juan Hernangomez. Hernangomez complimented Brown on his Spanish.

* Brown then asked Thon Maker about his real age. Snap too short to watch Maker's reaction.

MY NOTE: Brown speaks French and Spanish, has no obvious heritage with either culture, took graduate courses at Cal as a Freshman, and is only 19 years old. A pretty impressive young man.

Possibly a good question about Maker's, but the answer really does not matter at this point. However, if he is indeed "older" it was not fair for the kids he has played against as an amateur.

Agree with Bob, Brown certainly appears to be a very impressive kid both on and off the court. Lets hope that he becomes a Celtics legend in time.
