Apparently I’m a crazy person, but I want to see more of Justin Bean. While Jay Scrubb has put up points as our only true scorer, I don’t see much of that translating against NBA big men/defenses. I hope to see more Bean tonight because I thought he was good the first two games but invisible the last two.

Bean has flashed some shooting, cutting, and moving the ball quickly on offense that could translate to the NBA as a future 14th man a lot better than Scrubb as a SL iso scorer. The limited skills he has flashed in SL as a complimentary offensive spacer and connector for the deep bench could translate.

I have also seen him stifle at least 4 one on one finishes at the rim either with blocks or contests. I’d like to see him get minutes tonight because I don’t expect to get studs as SL FAs. Bean is flashing skills that would make him an injury plug n play to support our stars. I’d take that on a 2 way.

I like Bean as well. He knows how to play

If you like Walsh and JD, then you have to be happy with that 2nd quarter. Easily the best players on the floor that quarter.

Walsh and JD looking decent.  Between them no turnovers....nice.

You have to be happy seeing something out of deep second rounders.

So Valerio Bodon finally saw some action! Are you guys watching on league pass?

Just saw this:

Adam Himmelsbach: According to multiple league sources, Celtics summer league standout Jay Scrubb has agreed to a two-way contract with Boston. – via Twitter AdamHimmelsbach

Walsh showing that his defense and energy doesn't slump even when his shot does. It also seems the better he plays on D, the more it gives him confidence on offense.

I also like that he has a little swagger in him. He can't resist a little glare or flex celebration when he scores on somebody inside.

Nice game to wrap up on.

The coverage panel is just praising this Celtics team. They’re even hyping up Azubuike.

Yeah Sam Mitchell praising Boston’s size next season but doesn’t realize that Azubuike is not making the team

I have to wonder why Valerio-Bodin didn't play until now. He's interesting.
