While he might not get a lot of attention, reserve guard Brad Wanamaker has been a steady force for the Boston Celtics over the 2019-20 NBA season.
Consistently playing within his role as a steadying presence, a lot of Wanamaker’s value comes from what he doesn’t do — namely, make the many small mistakes non-star players often commit.
Whether leading the second unit or playing with the starters, the Pitt product has done exactly what has been asked of him without trying to pad his stat line at the expense of the game plan.
One of the best catch-and-shoot 3-point marksmen in the NBA this season, the Philly native can also get to the rack.
Celtics team reporter Marc D’Amico sat down with Boston assistant coach Scott Morrison to talk what Wanamaker has brought to Boston in his second season with the team, and why he’s so valuable to the Celtics despite his low-profile play.
Watch the video above to get Morrison’s take on these and other aspects of Wanamaker’s game, and how it’s helped Boston’s success this season.
