Best player on a 60 win team for the first time his career this year!
If he stays with the Celtics, there will be more.
Nope. Hayward is the Celtics best player.

I say it was Al Horford last year - but next year it will be Jayson Tatum.
Who’s the “best” is less interesting than how the team fits together to win, though. Horford, Tatum, and Hayward may be “better” than Irving - they are, as far as it goes - but no one on the team, and few in the league, can do as well as he does what he does well. He is a wizard with the ball, can get anywhere on the floor; creates shots for himself and others at a high clip with low turnovers; is a productive shooter in the lane and from the arc - and has few peers from long midrange.
He might be a minus defender, but he led the best defensive team in the league in minutes.
Kyrie is the Celtics’ best
offensive player - again, for what it’s worth.
