Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

  Luke Kornet is currently signed with the Boston Celtics for the next two NBA seasons , but only $100,000 of that is guaranteed - hardly a sign of confidence from Brad Stevens . The 7'2" center does a little bit of everything - but nothing particularly well. In his career, he has averaged 5.5 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 1.0 APG and 0.8 BPG . Still, being limited to 14.6 minutes per game may have hampered his production. Kornet's guaranteed money rises to 300,000 on August 15, 2022 - and to $1.1 million on opening night. Brad Stevens clearly wanted to see what bigs may thrive in Summer League - and then Training Camp.  Brad-Stevens-as-coach, and then Ime Udoka, do not seem to favor slow-footed big men who can be outmaneuvered by the opposition.

Has a pretty quick and high release with consistent form which allows him to get his shot off in tight windows  Nesmith hit 52% of his 3-pointers this past season, and his constant-motion offense is a weapon sorely lacking in recent Celtics lineups. And his height and wingspan seem tailor-made for Brad Stevens' systems. Nesmith may just be a player that can step right into the Boston lineup coming off the bench for 10-12 minutes per game. He just reeks ...
