Boston Celtics two-way wing Jay Scrubb gained a chance to spend time with one of the other new additions to Boston’s roster for the 2023-24 season, forward Jordan Walsh.
The Celtics’ No. 38 pick of the 2023 draft spent time with Scrubb at the 2023 Las Vegas Summer League playing with the former Arkansas player, and Scrubb had praise for his new teammate in a recent interview with Green With Envy’s Adam Taylor.
“For me, with it being my fourth year in the league and me being a younger guy, I would say his best underrated attribute to me is (that) he’s a vocal leader” shared Scrubb. “He’s 18-19 and the fact that he can come in and be that guy to where I can pull to the side and I could ask him a few things about his experience with colleges, being that I didn’t get a chance to experience (hem), that I could ask him, how was your experience?”
“And he’ll give me a well-rounded answer,” said Scrubb, who was one of the first players in years to be drafted out of junior college. “So I would say just like he’s a vocal leader.”

“And in summer league, he really surprised me shooting the ball,” shared the two-way guard. “I already knew … in practice, seeing him shoot and working out with him after practice and stuff like that.
“I knew he was a capable shooter, but going into the summer league, I thought he shot the ball really well. He impressed me.”
