New Boston Celtics two-way guard Jay Scrubb opened up about how he used Las Vegas Summer League to showcase the skills that earned him a contract with Boston for the 2023-24 season.

I can score, come out and defend, guard their best player, play hard,” Scrubb said to the Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn.

“Put my teammates in situations where I can get them better. It’s not just about scoring anymore,” he said. “I’m showcasing everything. That’s the biggest thing for me, showing that I could be a versatile defender. I can come in and do more than scoring. Whatever role they need me to be in, really.”

Las Vegas Summer League head coach Tony Dobbins agrees with Scrubb about his potential for the Celtics.

“The talent is clear,” he suggested.

“I told him my goal was for the whole league to know how special he is,” Dobbins added. “He hasn’t been in Boston for a long time, but he has a great personality. I told him I want to help him show the entire league that personality and just the energy that he has, the ability that he has, and the consistency that he’s working to have each day as a young player.”
