“We have to be mindful of, with the last roster spot, what our needs might be. Oshae had a terrific year with us… in his shoes, there might be the desire to play more, too. I always want to be respectful of that.” pic.twitter.com/LU5Dn5k1Zq

Brissett had an excellent two-year college career with the Orange.

However, he went unselected in the 2019 NBA Draft.

As for the Celtics, they are coming off a sensational year where they were the first seed in the Eastern Conference with the best record in the NBA (64-18).

They beat the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals to win their first title since the 2008 season (16 years).

At 26 Brissett is in the prime of his career, so it will be interesting to see where he ends up playing next season.

With the Celtics, he would be at the bottom of the bench, while another team could potentially provide more of an opportunity to get on the floor.
