A previous teammate of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum believes the wing duo will win an NBA title together at some point during their careers.

Twin brothers Marcus and Markieff Morris recently appeared on the All the Smoke podcast with Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes. The former was asked whether he believes Tatum and Brown will lead the Celtics to a title and provided the following response.

"Yeah, I like 'em", Morris said. "I think it happens, yeah. I think like a couple more pieces away, but I mean, I'm a fan of Tatum. I'm a fan of Brown, too."

Marcus Morris, 34, played with Brown and Tatum during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.

Arguably, his most memorable season as a Celtic came during the 2017-18 season. He averaged 13.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in 54 appearances with the storied franchise during the regular season (21 starts).

Morris was also a huge reason why the 2017-18 iteration of the Celtics made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. The forward averaged 10-plus points per game in each of Boston's three playoff series during the 2018 postseason.
