Larry Bird did it in the Celtics Championship 85-86 season. John Havlicek did it in the 69-70 "transition" season. Both stars led their teams in average points, rebounds and assists . In the 1969-70 season, following the retirement of Bill Russell and Sam Jones , Hondo averaged 41.6 MPG, 24.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG and 6.8 APG - to lead his team in all four categories. Bird did the same in the 1985-86 season, averaging 38.0 MPG, 25.8 PPG, 9.8 RPG and 6.8 APG . Now to Jayson Tatum . In six post-season games played in 2026, coming back from a torn Achilles tendon, he averaged 23.3 PPG, 10.7 RPG and 6.8 APG in 36.3 minutes per game .

Yes, I know it's only Summer League, but I am pleasantly surprised by his scoring ability from in close and out to the perimeter. Another strong performance from Chris Cenac Jr. at summer league: ✅ 16 PTS ✅ 5 REB ✅ 4 BLK Celtics first-round draft pick looking really promising out there ☘️ pic.twitter.com/23TUPr9xcL — Tomek Kordylewski (@Timi_093) July 14, 2026 It is doubtful if he will contribute significantly in the regular season in his rookie campaign, but Chris could be a real find for Brad Stevens in a few years. With some polishing, he could partially fill the role previ...
