Really like Queta.
.

Same. He’s a really good athlete and has the size to be an enforcer down low. Hope he works out for the C’s.

He's old school and a different look from the rest of our big men.

He moves well.  Good Initial first step and reaction.  Doesn't look like he's stuck in mud like some of the other bug projects like kabengele.  I'll be curious to see him develop this year.

I understand Joe likes the double big starting lineup, but if you bring Al off the bench and go with White and Holiday as your starting backcourt, our bench big man is solved. Pritchard has the backup PG spot under control too.

I agree. Al should come off the bench.

[Silas]

Joe is doing a nice job of managing minutes.  Protecting our top 6 players.

[Atzar]

I really like JD's instincts running the pick-and-roll. 

[Silas]

Queta playing under control...no fouls so far.

Okay, just sign Queta to the contract we gave Hauser last season. At this point, he should be ahead of Kornet in the rotation. Not because he is definitively better, but the potential is obviously there and we should be grooming him for more minutes.

Dude can rebound, pass, defend, and is a vertical threat. I know he's not Rob, but man, he provides a lot of what we are now missing with Rob.

Svi got game

[Surferdad]

JD is in there but Svi looks like the PG with his ball handling and passing.

[Atzar]

Really wish they'd get back to calling moving screens.  One of my least favorite things about modern basketball.  Screeners are allowed to just walk defenders off of the ball-handler and there's no viable defensive counterplay.

[radiohead]

Is it safe to say Queta is ahead of Gabriel at this point? I have a feeling Queta’s contract will be converted to a regular one if he continues to impress.

[Silas]

I like Svi's game. 

[Surferdad]

Rookie Walsh looks raw out there.

Is it safe to say Queta is ahead of Gabriel at this point? I have a feeling Queta’s contract will be converted to a regular one if he continues to impress.

I know I am advocating for signing him above, but there is really no reason for the team to do so unless they see him playing playoff rotation minutes. He'll be available for the Celtics throughout the season regardless. Definitely an intriguing pick-up. Hopefully he continues to improve and he can become a legitimate player for the team at some point.

[SCeltic34]

Svi is a baller.
