The Boston Celtics found a hidden gem. Josh Minott spent his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves oscillating between the end of their bench and the G League. With his new franchise, he already looks the part of a contributor to a title contender.
The Florida native spent his offseason in Miami, doing three-a-days and sharpening his craft against the likes of Bam Adebayo, Obi Toppin, and Malik Beasley.
It immediately paid dividends. Minott ascended to the Celtics' starting lineup, then bounced back quickly after losing that role to Jordan Walsh. At the defensive end of the floor, he's helping fill the need for an on-ball stopper against the opposition's top options.
