No whipping boy this year...

Do you realize how Celtics fans are? There has to be someone to complain about if they aren't perfect.

We already got rid of our soft bigs and upgraded almost every position. But every year, there is that guy who gets all the heck when they lose or not doing a task well on a consistent basis. Last season, it was in group of Olynyk and Zeller because of their inability to protect the rim.

Base on my observation from the preseason, Nader could be a prime candidate due to his ballhog tendencies. Yabu could get a whiplash too because he's too raw and will commit alot of rookie mistakes. We've also shown Semi's lack of court awareness at times and his passiveness.

Be careful as a certain member gets very emotional over any criticisms they receive.

Morris. He likes to go 1 on 1 too often, holds the ball, and takes a lot of long contested 2's. Marcus, is not the physical inside oriented brother, he is the more finesse one that prefers to be on perimeter. Fans may get on him expecting he will be more like Markieff.

It has to be someone who plays a lot who gets the most criticism.  I agree with all the things that have been pointed out.  Nader tends to think he's the best shot creator in the NBA, Semi has no floor game and athleticism that is invisible 99% of the time on offense, Yabu is fat so he'll be a target, of course Smart if his shots aren't falling and he goes into Curry mode from 3. 

My ultimate pick is Morris.  He seems to have all the tools but I have a feeling that we will be wanting a lot more in terms of better shot selection and much more rebounding than he will provide.

Yabu has such strange physique, "big boned", huge ass. He looks like he could be our next Sully, but he is much more explosive. That, along with him playing Center, which is hard for a rookie, especially defensively as it is the hardest defensive position to play. He could frustrate, but that's nitpicking.

Also, I hate to see when J.Brown dunks/lays the ball and lands awkwardly, off balance, tripping, falling. It makes me think that he will unnecessarily injure his lower extremities on one of these attempts.

Morris will be the wipping boy for sure. He has a penchant to iso. This is going to make him receive flack as he is arguably the what 3-5 best option on offense (depending on how rookie Tatum fares, and if Horford is having a good or bad night.)
