Monday at the Auerbach Center, Josh Minott described his three years with the Minnesota Timberwolves as being in "a learning role." Now, he's eager to "prove who I am and show what I can do." That opportunity is what brought him to the Boston Celtics.
The six-foot-eight forward has a seven-foot wingspan. Minott has the length, athleticism, and motor to be an impactful defender. That goes for when he's guarding on the perimeter, operating as the weak-side rim protector, or when he's helping from another spot within Boston's defensive shell.
The 22-year-old from Florida can also help the Celtics on the glass.
