Expect Justin Champagnie to get some run the final couple games of the regular season when most of the rotation will sit. After that he will get a front row seat to all the Celtics playoff action. Guess here is he signed a contract with a non-guarantee for next season, which would allow Brad Stevens to easily use that contract for matching salaries in a prospective trade.

Champagnie has put up 18 points and 8 rebounds a game this year in the G-League. The University of Pittsburgh product played 36 games for the Toronto Raptors last season, but just 3 for them this campaign.
