Brad Stevens popped into Team USA’s camp in Las Vegas yesterday. Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston caught up with Brad to discuss some Jayson Tatum. Boston Celtics fans should be very excited about this one particular quote:
“I think he’ll benefit greatly from [the Team USA experience] and I saw it today,” said Stevens. "I thought today was one of his better practices that I’ve watched.”
With talk swirling of other NBA players dropping out of Team USA to manage wear-and tear and work with new teammates at home, coupled with Marcus Smart managing ankle soreness and calf stiffness, the Team USA experience can still benefit a lot of players.
