JD Davison has two All-Star mentors in Boston

JD Davison is rarely seen on the TD Garden parquet. The Boston Celtics two-way guard is still developing his game with the Maine Celtics in the G-League. He was the team’s 53rd pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. His athleticism and explosiveness make him an enticing young prospect. However, his defense needs to improve before he has a shot of making the Celtics roster.

Fortunately for Davison, he’s got two All-NBA mentors to help him figure things out. During a recent interview with NBC Sports Boston, the Celtics two-way guard discussed Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown‘s impact on his development.

Both Brown and Holiday are impressing on the defensive end this season, and are likely passing along some important details on how to thrive in Mazzulla’s switch-heavy system. Nevertheless, the Celtics have high-level talent across their guard rotation, so Davison is likely fighting an uphill battle.
