Following the Boston Celtics' win over the Washington Wizards, Jaylen Brown described what Boston's new additions, Xavier Tillman and Jaden Springer, bring to the team.

The All-NBA forward is excited to have them on board.

"We welcome the two new guys that we welcome is Springer and Xavier," Brown said. "I just think they add to winning, from what I've seen, the clips, and even playing against them. What they bring from a toughness standpoint and defensive standpoint, I think this team definitely needed that. For sure. And to be able to do it and add, and add to our rotation of players, it just adds another level of physicality that we need. I think two great contributions and I welcome them to Boston."

Both Tillman and Springer have the opportunity to really bolster Boston's rotation for the ladder-half of the season, entering the playoffs. 

Especially Tillman's experience adding depth to the frontcourt with his versatility and defensive instincts that he has shown. Most notably, Tillman's efforts on Anthony Davis last postseason.
