Two Bradley Beal Elite alums were recently recognized as top players in the NBA for the month of February 2024.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month and Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller was named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month.
Jayson played 10 games for the Celtics in February, averaging 27.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. His month was highlighted by a 41-point, 14-rebound outing in a win at Brooklyn on February 13th. Boston went 9-1 in those 10 games, building a winning streak that reached 11 games in early March.
