KP gives Boston a very tall option that can both post and work out deep at the top. Tatum and Brown are not good from three in the middle of the court, at 33%, and aren’t good from foul line depth at 42%, both on heavy volume compared to the rest of the league’s players. KP shoots the three at 38% up high, and hits foul line jumpers at 47%. White and Brogdon are both 40%+ from three up high, and with three threats in the middle of the court, the Celtics should be better able to attack zones and play Nuggets style two man games with their center in the middle of the court.
Looking forward to KP high pick and rolls with Brogdon, White, Tatum, JB. Porzingis is no Jokic, but he is Jokicesque in that he can facilitate up top, look over the defense, hit the deep ball, put the ball on the floor, make shots on the move, etc. Now that he will be playing with lots of talented offensive players, I’d like to see him more of a facilitator. He didn’t do a lot of facilitating in NYC, at 1.3 app, and Dallas, at 1.8 apg, but got the chance to pass the ball a bit more with the Wiz, at 2.7 apg. I’d like to see him flirt with 4 assists per game with Boston if they run a lot of offense through him up top.
