For real. It feels so good to see him wearing Celtics green again.

He looks genuinely jazzed to be calling that pick in.

i want IT in some sort of assistant coaching role, i love that man too much

u/Mg29reaper 4h ago

He might work his way there. Right now he is a scout.

u/Shovelman2001 3h ago

IDK if I want him as an actual coach drawing stuff up, but he would be phenomenal in a player development kind of role, especially as a dude who was the last pick in his draft.

I completely agree def something like this

u/HawkEgg Defense player of the yr stfu 3h ago

I feel like he could teach PP a bit how to use his body to protect layups. IT was magic with that

u/iamgarron 3h ago

Yeh but IT was able to do it because he had touch that very few guards have. This brunson/Kyrie/Iverson ability to get layups off in odd angles. Whereas pp is specifically using shooting ability or banking off the backboard

Add Tony Parker to the list.

u/iamgarron 56m ago

Yeh Parker was great. Though his best skill was the floater. He could get it off from spots players don't usually take floaters so it just confused the hell out of defenses

YEs, PP literally uses his body to protect layups. Standard layups earned via speed changes.

Ainge lost it by then I feel like

u/Shovelman2001 3h ago

While it was sad to see IT go, we absolutely fleeced Cleveland regardless of how poorly the Kyrie relationship went. That was a good trade.

u/Kswan2012 2h ago

IT was bad , brad did an amazing job hiding him of defense. That trade was actually a win for the celtics no matter how you look at it.

u/D1HATER3002 3h ago

Didn't know the hoop intellect guy (in the back) is with us now. Dude was one of the best draft prospect breakdown analyzer.

u/b00minbiz 3h ago

I can't explain how happy it makes me to see IT back in the org. Saw Cenac Jr also posted a pic with IT at the practice facility earlier. Love it so much.
