One of the highlights of the 2022-23 season for the Boston Celtics was Malcolm Brogdon’s service off the bench. He was one of the league’s top 3-point threats, and his patient resolve gave Boston a steady offensive boost all season long. Brogdon’s excellent play earned him the 2023 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award, making him the third Celtics player to land the honor.
Fast-forward a few months, and the mood has changed considerably. At the time of this writing, the relationship between Brogdon and Boston is a little unclear in part thanks to an elbow injury suffered in the postseason and an abandoned trade during the offseason.
That said, injuries heal, and Brogdon is as professional as they come. The turbulence of the offseason may quickly become a thing of the past once the 2023-24 campaign begins. Brogdon is, after all, a key piece for the Celtics, and Boston is probably the best spot for the 30-year-old to compete for a title. If Brogdon remains a member of the Celtics, there are a few things he can focus on to maximize his impact next year.
