Another one!
Michael Scotto: The Boston Celtics have agreed to a deal with Kendall Brown, sources told @hoopshype. He?ll compete for a two-way spot in camp. Brown was a two-way player with the Brooklyn Nets last season. He averaged 16.1 points on 57% from the field and 40% from 3-point range in the G League. pic.x.com/CxUB4SNDUi

Another forward, listed at 6'-7". Here is the blurb I found on him:
Kendall Thomas Brown is an American professional basketball player for the Long Island Nets of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the Baylor Bears. He was a consensus five-star recruit and one of the best small forwards in the 2021 class
He was drafted in 2022 after his freshman season. Sounds like he came out way too early. Anyone know more of the back story? Going from a "5 star recruit and one of the best SF in the 2021 class" to a journeyman hoping to get a 2-way deal 4 years later?
According to Indiana Reddit - Looks the part but doesn't do anything well. Never developed his game same player today as when drafted. They question his motivation/drive. Can't shoot. Given tons of opportunity just never did anything with it in the NBA.

Well, that?s encouraging. 
There is a reason he was unsigned until mid-September. Still, for this season I would rather take a chance on an athletic and talented 22 year-old figuring out how to be a pro than a 28 year-old who is a pro but with less talent. He is a training camp invite whom the Celtics intend to send to Maine and evaluate for half a season. If he has a terrific camp he has a chance to win a 2-way.
Also, that Indiana opinion was written about him after seeing his play as a 19 and 20 year-old, and also included him missing half his rookie season with a broken leg. It probably is not wrong, but that is because the same words could be written of about half of the one-and-done draftees every year, and not something specific to Kendall Brown.
