Recently, Paul Pierce said in an interview that he thinks Jaylen Brown is more important in the Celtics locker room than Tatum.

Pierce said, "I've always thought Jaylen was an important voice on the team. From what I've seen myself, whether it's in practice or in the locker room, Jaylen shows more personality than Tatum for that role."

"The best players aren't always team leaders. For example, on our championship-winning team, there were a lot of guys on the team who could be vocal and outspoken - James Posey, Eddie House and others were - there were arguably 10 leaders on that team. Leadership doesn't always come from me or Garrett, know what I mean?"
