Kemba ain’t no better than brown and Tatum. Him coming back not fixing this lol. These boys ARENT GOOD LIKE THAT! They flat out been getting exposed since the playoffs. I’m completely on the ledge.
Lol. You really are on the ledge. Nobody is saying Kemba is better than those two.
He is, however, better than everyone else. Which means less minutes for scrubs like Ojeleye.
Beyond that, it's about fit. He's another playmaker that will help out the offense, because right now we just don't have that kind of playmaking outside of Teague. Really not sure why Teague hasn't been starting from the get-go; that seemed like a pretty obvious decision given our personnel and current injuries.
What we agree on is the Celtics desperately need a playmaker. What we don’t agree on is Kemba ain’t the answer regardless if he’s healthy or not. You make it seem like Kemba was top 10 in assist. Was he even top 20? He’s not viewed as a playmaker and never has been.
Playmaking is much more than just your assists. The fact that he's a threat to score, both via the outside shot and the penetration, and is good at the penetration and assist game makes him a good playmaker. You're underestimating how having him back will improve our offense.
It is much more than assist, but my point is outside of assist he is no more of a threat than Brown, Tatum, and Smart. If you want to argue that no one is double teaming Smart or Brown, then Kemba is no more of a threat than Tatum. The point is there are plenty of threats but NO ONE TO PASS IT.
Again we agree there is much more than playmaking than assist, but we disagree on what those other attributes are. PASSING has way more to do with playmaking than any other attribute point blank period. Kemba isn’t any more capable to make a play than any of the other guys as they can all score all 3 levels, BUT CANT PASSSSSSS!
