5 players that the Boston Celtics could bring home

Player No. 1 the Boston Celtics should bring home: Bruce Brown

Now, hear me out about the Brooklyn Nets’ Bruce Brown, who became public enemy number one after a series of big game comments ahead of the playoff series vs the Celtics.  The NBA is a business and this combo guard is as worthy of an investment as the team could find on the market.

Brown is a bona fide Cs killer and grew up right here in Beantown and went to Wakefield high school. This is his own backyard and it showed as he balled out in TD Garden averaging 14 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game on 57% shooting, 43% from three, and 80% from the line.

Obviously, it was not the thrilling seven game series many hoped for, but Brown was arguably the Nets’ most consistent performer night in and night out. Most NBA pundits will argue that he shined because of all the open looks he got playing next to superstars in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, but there is something to be said for a player excelling in their role as the perfect complementary piece.

In a nutshell, the six-foot-four guard would potentially become an ideal fit next to the ‘Jays’ and add injury insurance should Marcus Smart go down. He has shown the versatility to play up to three positions, hit open shots, and has a reliable floater game.

Previous statements have me believing it would be a dream for him to bleed green as a Boston Celtic and from his dog days in Detroit he’s proven to hang with the best of them and make the most of his opportunities.

Do not be surprised, if Boston is one of the many suitors for Brown’s services this summer.
