The Boston Celtics were dealt two brutal blows in their second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks. Not only did they lose the series and were eliminated from the playoffs, but they also saw superstar forward Jayson Tatum go down with a torn Achilles.

In a recent episode of the "How 'Bout Them Celtics ?" podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance explore Koby Brea as a potential prospect. Brea fits perfectly with how the Celtics like to play. His shooting would instantly secure him a spot on the Celtics bench; however, he would still need to prove himself on the defensive end.
