Didn't count Jeff Green or Courtney Lee, because they have started.

I think the two players that impressed me the most is T-Will and Randolph. I hope Doc gives Terrence Williams more free rein on being able to control and become a play maker. Bradley isn't suited to be a PG at all.

And Randolph I love his intensity, and his hustle. What he lacks in anything, he makes up by playing smart, and having the right position at the right time. Unfortunately he fouls out too quick, but at least we'll get a solid 10-15 minutes from him.

For me it was between shav and t-will as well. Shav was supposedly a nobody who was going to be six fouls and that was it, but he has vastly exceeded expectations. T-will I had really high hopes for but doc didn't give him as many minutes as I thought he would of. T-will/Bradley backcourt duo would be good because, as you say, Bradley isn't a point

Definitely agree, I was hoping DJ White could get more minutes. But at this point Shav is already outperforming him, and almost clinching the first big man off the bench against Wilcox.

Avery Bradley was very good at cutting, and shooting the open jumper near the key, and the corner three when Rondo was here. But now hes just so tired, and agonized from shifting to PG/SG that hes making careless mistakes.

I really do hope T-Will gets a better playoff position. As we've seen his dunks boosts the crowd, and gets them hyped up. He is a brilliant passer, and learning more and more at defending, when he took over guarding Kyrie after AB sat.

Everyone picking Shav?

I picked JCraw. He's been great for the Celtics; he really lightened the loss of Barbosa. I hope he stays a Celtic for quite a bit... he could turn into a Westbrook-lite. I'd love that.

I agree that it's Shavo. Williams is a close second. In fact, Walter McCarty called him the 2nd best defender on the team behind Bradley.

For me, it's Jeff Green. He's only started in 13/77 games this season, and is only doing so out of necessity right now, so in my mind he's still a bench player.

KG's still on the team though...

He didn't elaborate. Perhaps he meant perimeter defender.

I say Green. Jet, Cox, and Crawford have started.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
