Boston Celtics rookie forward saw the start of his inaugural campaign in the NBA go a little rough as a litany of minor injuries mostly kept him off of the court, but as time went on he began to show some real value even as a first-year player.
Most of that value has come on the defensive side of the ball, with the Indiana University product demonstrating aptitude as a solid cover for even some of the league’s top wings in short stints.
And while his shooting has yet to come around at the NBA and G League levels alike, his 54.8 % rate from 2-point range with the Maine Red Claws and solid numbers shooting from the elbow and finishing near-basket makes at the NBA level hint he’ll be coming along soon on the other end of the ball.
Watch all of his best moments from his rookie season to date with the team-produced highlight reel embedded above.
And try not to get too excited to see him play in the soon-to-arrive scrimmage games starting today in the meantime.
