Minott is only 22-years-old despite spending three years in the league already with Minnesota, having averaged 2.6 points and 1.0 rebounds per game as a deep bench reserve in spot minutes. His presence though fills up Boston’s roster for the moment with 15 players and also puts their entire payroll back above the second apron for now unofficially.

The 6-foot-8-inch forward, 22, appeared in 46 games for Minnesota last season, averaging 2.6 points and one rebound while shooting 48.9 percent from the field.
