Celtics two-way guard Jay Scrubb on taking a page from Sam Hauser’s book

Hauser carved out a role with his consistency for the Celtics, a process Scrubb hopes to follow himself.

If there is a book to take a page out of to maximize his time as a two-way player for the Boston Celtics, guard Jay Scrubb might look to Celtics forward Sam Hauser.

Scrubb is expected to spend most of his time with the Maine Celtics, but he could receive real playing time with the parent club if he can add what Boston needs from deep when his number is called on the bench.

Speaking to Green With Envy’s Adam Taylor, Scrubb described how he hopes to carve out a small role for himself on this team. “It’s literally that mentality — just coming in the same way Sam (Hauser) did,” he explained.

“Being what the team needs coming in and being that knockdown shooter, being that guy that could come in and guard and come in and be that glue piece,” he added.

“It’s sort of that same mindset just coming in and being that added piece, that added boost for the team,” Scrubb said. “That’s the main thing.”

If the Kentucky native can do all he knows he needs to, there will be a real place for him on this team by the end of the season. And perhaps with it, a regular roster slot as well.
