Jerebko was the first off the bench for the Celtics during their Monday preseason win versus Brooklyn.

Analysis:

Jerebko got a boost in minutes due to both David Lee and Jae Crowder resting to nurse minor injuries. Still, Jerebko was productive, collecting 11 points, seven rebounds, an assist and a steal in 21 minutes of aggressive play. He's proven he can offer coach Brad Stevens a productive spark off the bench when called on, but Jerebko's minutes will be erratic barring longer term injuries at the small and power forward positions.
