Per Inside The Celtics, Brown was impressed by the performances of Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, and Sam Hauser.

“I’m loving what I’m seeing right now. D. White is confident. He’s playing well. Payton and Sam are confident. They’re playing well. We’ve got guys coming in (who) haven’t played in a month and contributing. It’s good energy right now.”
