With the Celtics trade for Nikola Vucevic, most of the focus has been on Vooch’s abilities as a floor spacer and a true stretch big. Boston has been so reliant on great three-point shooting big men in recent years, like Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis, and that element has clearly been missing from the team this year.
But quietly, an even bigger issue may be the lack of true post scoring on the Celtics’ roster. Neemias Queta and Luka Garza have done an outstanding job of manning the center position this season, but they’re both play finishers around the basket, and not much more.
