Boston Celtics: 2 last-minute potential transaction window targets

Bryce Brown

Hardwood Houdini’s own Cam Neisler has made one of the strongest cases for any player to join the Boston Celtics with his thoughts on the Main Red Claws’ Bryce Brown.

Neisler put it best:

"Unfortunately, the remainder of the G-League season was canceled, but that doesn’t change the fact that Brown had a phenomenal season. In 34 games with the Red Claws, the 6’3″ guard averaged 16 points per game on 44 percent shooting, nearly identical to what he produced at Auburn. Yeah, he tore it up in Maine. The 3-point shooting is what sticks out the most. Brown shot 42 percent from deep this year for Maine on 8.7 attempts a game, almost identical to his numbers at Auburn, which is just unreal. To put that into perspective, take a guess as to what NBA player has the *exact same* three-point shooting numbers as Brown this season. I’ll give you a clue. It’s a player that 99 percent of Boston Celtics fans were dying to acquire back at the Trade Deadline. If your answer was Washington’s Davis Bertans, you would be correct. Crazy, right?"

Simply put, Brown is a low-cost solution that also has system experience. If Brown’s insane 3-point conversion rate translated to the bubble, the C’s would have what they thought they’d have in Romeo Langford.

Brown is currently scheduled to take part in ESPN’s “The Basketball Tournament”, but he may end up competing in a tournament with much higher stakes this summer if Cam had the final say.
