Miles McBride
In an interview with the New York Post, McBride said he’ll do whatever it takes to be on the floor. “If that means making shots, bringing the ball up, finding the open man, playing defense, I’m doing anything I can to be on the floor.”
With this mindset, willingness to improve and the intensity with which he plays, he is bound to get playing time on a Tom Thibedeau team. It will be interesting to see him grow with the team this upcoming 2022-23 season.
