23-years-old, Strus averaged 20.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.9 steals per game in his second and final season with the DePaul Blue Demons. The signing, which is no surprise given Strus and Boston came to a verbal agreement in the latter half of June but how things shake out at training camp may ultimately secure the spot for the undrafted wing.

According to the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, Strus could even feasibly earn a spot on the 15-man roster with a good enough showing in training camp.

Javonte Green is planning to sign a 2-year deal with the Celtics, with a partial guarantee in year 1 and non-guaranteed year 2, per source. I've been told by multiple sources that the Cs plan to have several players, likely partial & two-way contract guys, vie for the last spot.
