Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have three obvious traits in common: Their names begin with "Jay," the Boston Celtics drafted both players No. 3 overall and they're both very good at basketball.
How good, you ask? After dropping 28 points in Monday night's win over the Atlanta Hawks, Tatum now has 3,331 career points, second only to Donovan Mitchell among players taken in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Brown? He ranks fifth among players taken in the 2016 draft with -- wait for it -- 3,331 career points.

That's right: The two pillars of Boston's young core have scored the exact amount of regular-season points with the Celtics: Tatum through 204 career games and Brown through 263 career games.
As 98.5 The Sports Hub Celtics play-by-play man Sean Grande pointed out, this incredible stat was a thing entering Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Then Tatum scored a combined 53 points over his next two contests -- and Brown matched him down to the point, with 32 points versus Philly and 21 points against Atlanta.

Context is important here: The 21-year-old Tatum has played in 59 fewer games and thus has higher career averages than the 23-year-old Brown, who narrowly missed joining Tatum on the Eastern Conference All-Star Team.
It's likely Tatum will move past Brown in the near future, too, considering he's averaging 21.7 points per game this season to Brown's 20.4.
But it looks like Boston's dynamic duo has a scoring competition on its hands, with the next round coming Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic.
