Chris Boucher, one of the Boston Celtics’ newest frontcourt additions, spoke on Monday about why he felt the team was the right landing spot for him in free agency.
According to Boucher, president of basketball operations Brad Stevens made it clear that the team had been eyeing him for some time, which gave him confidence in the decision.
As relayed by Brian Robb of MassLive.com, the player went into detail about what attracted him to Boston and why he felt it was the right stage of his career for a change.
“I’ve been in Toronto for seven years. Obviously we had a great year with a championship and all, but also years where we’re not winning at all and it impacted my time and playing and all that,” Boucher said.
“I also feel like I still have a lot to give to the game, so I wanted to go somewhere where I felt like, there’s a winning culture, winning energy and also felt like I wanted to see something different. I wanna be able to show what I’m capable of doing in multiple ways in the game.”
