If there is a book to take a page out of in order to maximize his time as a two way player for the Boston Celtics next season, guard Jay Scrubb may look to Celtics forward Sam Hauser to follow in the footsteps of Sam Hauser, Scrubb is looking at spending most of his time with the Maine Celtics, but could also garner some real playing time with the parent club if he can add what Boston needs deep off of the bench when his number is called.
Speaking to Green With Envy’s Adam Taylor, Scrubb described how he hopes to carve out a small role for himself on this team. “It’s literally that mentality — just coming in the same way Sam (Hauser) did,” he explained.
“Being what the team needs coming in and being that knockdown shooter, being that guy that could come in and guard and come in and be that glue piece,” he added.

“It’s sort of that same mindset just coming in and being that added piece, that added boost for the team,” said Scrubb. “That’s the main thing.”
If the Kentucky native can do all he knows he needs to, there will be a real place for him on this team by the end of the season. And perhaps with it, a regular roster slot as well.
