Newest Boston Celtics wing Jaden Springer can always look back on the start of his tenure in Boston to motivate him, his former GM Darryl Morey suggesting that a second round pick would be more helpful to a contending team than Springer’s play could be. If it bothered him the first time he spoke to the press as a Celtic, it didn’t show. “I ain’t really worried about that too much,” he said to the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach. “I’m here now, so I can’t really focus on that.”
“Coming to a team like this, you can’t go wrong,” he added. “Especially probably the best team in the league, a bunch of great guys, great organization, and so far I’m loving it here.”
“I feel like I can definitely help bring the energy,” offered the former Sixers wing. “I feel like defensively, I can help the team.”

“Offensively, I can fit into the system, watching the way they play,” Springer added. “It’s just really free-playing, really understanding what they’re trying to get to.”
“I feel like I can help however they need me to, so I’m pretty excited for that.”
