Our bigs going forward

[Ilikesports17]

I?ve been pretty on it going to watch highlights of our new players and rookies, but man, I just can?t do it with Garza and Niang. This is like Bogans and Humphries all over again. Actually, I wish it was Humphries

Just watch Garza's college highlights instead. Pretend we just picked him in the 2nd round

As an Ohio State guy...watched Garza for years at Iowa. Hated him then and still do. He is not a rotational NBA player. And Niang is a fat ass that does nothing on the floor. Dirty also.

People here may not like Niang, but he is a proven NBA rotation player.   Garza isn't good at all.

If C's keep Niang for a while, he will do some stuff we like.  Yes out of shape.   But yes 40% from 3, and every old man YMCA move imaginable.   Like a bigger slower SloMo.

I mean everyone is allowed to hate any new players they want.  But it's not like Niang and Garza were responsible for Tatum's injury and our cap issues.  They are pawns just like everyone else.  Complaining about it over and over again isn't going to change things.  I don't mean that just to jambr380.

What exactly do you recommend we focus on? I want something positive to latch onto but its been a rough month and a half. Getting beat by an inferior Knicks. JT's awful injury. Tearing down the team in record time and replacing it with junk. Seeing our window most likely close as fast as it opened.

I guess I will look toward 2026.

Niang is a dirty player. Garza is not even NBA material.

Garza's probably closer to helping a team than any bigs taken in Round 2 last week.

Exactly what I was thinking haha!

I think we look for some improvement from Baylor, Queta, Hugo as the year goes along.   If those 3 guys can show us something this year they would be cheap depth next year.  Obviously Brad has higher expectations for Hugo, but that will take many years.

I do...but man it is tough with this offseason and the long slog of the 2025 season on the horizon. The Pitino years were awful. The post KG.PP years were awful. This next year fits that narrative. Guess we are onto 2026.

Actually they weren't. There was one bad year and Brad had them competitive enough where they could at least stay in games till the 4th quarter.  After that they steadily improved. In fact 13-14 was the only season they've missed the playoffs since Brad's been around.

Just sit back and watch with no expectations. That?s the only way to get through this season. I am particularly excited to see what Hugo is made of. If he shows flashes of brilliance then that?s another building block for JT?s comeback crew. I also wanna see how they use Garza. Luke was a nobody when he came here and look where he is now. Luka is just 26, there?s certainly room for growth. Also, i?m just happy JB and DW are still Celtics. If one of them is traded, i wouldn?t be surprised if JT asks out.

Garza is basically what Kornet was when he came to Boston.  Hopefully he has a similar uptick as well

This is so depressing

This is so depressing

I?m saying 35 wins.

This was my thought as well. Garza has a bit more scoring knack, but a far worse defender.

Living in Des Moines, we saw a lot of Garza at Iowa and while he played for the Iowa Wolves.

He's a productive big. But I don't think we will be winning any championships with him in the rotation.

[DefenseWinsChamps]

I'm starting to get excited about Williams and Queta getting minutes. They both should have the opportunity to earn some minutes.
