Jordan Mickey has arrived

When Jordan Mickey checked in for his most substantial minutes to date as a Celtic, Boston was down 11 to Utah. It's not exactly the most ideal situation for a rookie to get playing time, but according to Brad Stevens, he texted Mickey earlier in the day to tell him to "be ready." Sounds like Commissioner Gordon lighting up the Bat-Signal for Swatman. (I apologize.)

In over 7 minutes of play, Mickey finished the game a plus-7 and helped cut a 13-point lead down to 2. The 3 point, 3 rebound, and 2 block stat line doesn't look impressive, but the rookie rarely made mistakes, especially on the defensive end.
