Jaylen is the son of Quenton M. Brown, a professional boxer who is a member of the Hawaii State Boxing Commission Board, having won the 2015 WBU C.A.M. Heavyweight title, and the 2016 WBU World title.
Jaylen went to Joseph Wheeler High School in his hometown, where he played basketball, leading his team to the Georgia High School Association state championship after he successfully made two free throws with just 0.6 seconds remaining on the clock. He was ranked at the top in his class, only behind Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram and Skal Labissière, while also earning several honors, including the Gatorade Georgia Boys Player of the Year, Georgia’s Mr. Basketball, and USA Today’s All-USA Georgia Player of the Year, among other recognitions.
After high school, Jaylen enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley; being coached by Cuonzo Martin, where he continued to improve, scoring a career-high 27 points against Richmond and Utah, and as a result, he earned First-team All-Pac-12 recognition and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year. After 34 games, Jaylen averaged 14.6 points per game, along with 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists. After this successful season, Jaylen decided to forego the rest of his college studies, and declared for the 2016 NBA draft. The young star was chosen as the third overall pick by the Celtics, behind only Brendon Ingram who was picked by the Celtic’s fiercest rivals the Lakers, and Ben Simmons, who was chosen by the Philadelphia 76ers. Jaylen became a professional on the 27th July 2016, signing a rookie contract with the franchise. In the preseason, Jaylen showcased his dominance on the court, averaging 16.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 steals in six games during the Summer League.

He started his first game on the 3rd November against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and though the Celtics lost the match, Jaylen scored 19 points, and as the season progressed, improved his numbers and had a career-high of 20 points against the Orlando Magic, which the Celtics won by a 30-point margin, 128-98. Unfortunately, at the end of the season, Jaylen had only 6.6 points per game, and 2.8 rebounds in 17 minutes average on the court, which only earned him a place in the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.
With the new season, Jaylen continued to improve, and in the first game of the season scored a career high of 25 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and since then has had another career-high, scoring 27 points against the Atlanta Hawks on the 18th November 2017.
