Oshae Brissett on Joining Celtics: 'I Just Want to Go Win'

"Energy, excitement; I feel like last year, watching them, they always have that obviously, playing at the Garden, it's different, but they have that with the players. I feel like I can bring that in a different way, coming in off the bench, starting, whatever it is, whatever the team needs me to do. Bring that energy and bring that heart to the team."

And while he wasn't without an NBA home for long, he shared about his experience, "I was really excited for one; this was my first time, obviously, being a free agent, so to get a call from an organization like this, Brad (Stevens) and Joe (Mazzulla) on the phone, really let me know that they really appreciate me and respect me as a player, and I feel like it's a great relationship that I can build with them."

After signing with Boston, Brissett said he received texts from Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, and Derrick White. He's also friendly with Malcolm Brogdon, who he played with in Indiana.

The former says he's joining his new teammates with "no ego. I have nothing to prove, really. I just want to go win, and whatever these guys want me to do, do it."

Regarding fitting in with the Celtics' All-NBA duo, Tatum and Jaylen Brown, provided the latter's still in Boston, Brissett stated, "They've got the rock, they can do what they want, I'm gonna go crash and rebound, and I feel like I've got the easy job. That's what they do. And I'm excited to play with them. Excited to watch. Excited to be a part of the team and be out there and show what I can do as well."
