Jaylen Brown gave Philadelphia 76ers fans a rare look inside the minds of their newest stars this week, sorting LeBron James and Tyrese Maxey directly into Gryffindor. This wasn’t some quick social media poll either. Brown was straight-up dishing on his teammates’ personalities, identifying where they’d fit in the wizarding world of Harry Potter during a chat with none other than actor Daniel Radcliffe.
Inside the Sixers’ Hogwarts Houses
Brown, speaking on “The Old Man and the Three,” around the 47:30 mark of Thursday’s episode, wasn’t shy about his picks. Beyond the Gryffindor duo of James and Maxey, he pegged new teammate VJ Edgecombe for Ravenclaw. And who did Brown see in Hufflepuff? Tacko Fall, for one. It’s a fascinating peek behind the curtain, letting us know a bit more about the vibe in that locker room. He didn’t just stop at his current squad, though. Brown also tossed his former Boston Celtics teammates Jayson Tatum and Derrick White into Hufflepuff, while their old coach Joe Mazzulla landed himself in Slytherin.
Brown’s Early Season Impact
Remember, Brown just joined the Sixers this offseason, traded from the Celtics to amp up a starting lineup that already boasts James, Edgecombe, Maxey, and Joel Embiid. So far, he’s been putting in serious work on the court, averaging 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in his first five starts. The Sixers are looking sharp early, holding a 4-1 record. They’re definitely making a strong bid for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The squad is back in action this Saturday, ready for a Halloween night showdown against the Charlotte Hornets.
