Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla weighed in on the addition of Craig for this team.

“Just experience, been on good teams,” Mazzulla said. “High-level defender, plays with a lot of energy. Shot the ball well over the last three years, so it’s another piece that we could have on both ends of the floor.”

Star forward Jayson Tatum also weighed in and seemed excited about the chance to add Craig to the team.

“A veteran presence, guy that can adapt to any group, probably can play off of guys, space the floor,” Tatum said. “He brings a set of toughness, able to guard one through the four, five or whatever. So just another guy that we can add to our group and be versatile on both ends of the floor.

It remains to be seen when Craig will make his debut with Boston but the team is excited about him being added to the roster. The veteran should make his debut soon and will be welcomed with open arms by the other players in Boston when he does.
