Who is your favorite player on the Celtics?
Who are your top 5 in order?
Why?
For me:
1)Marcus Smart is my favorite. Quite simply, I love his defense and grit and balls. I honestly believe Marcus will finish his career as one of the greatest defenders in NBA history. I just can't remember too many guys who were ever as good as him at their peak, let alone in their second seasons. He's a defensive superstar. Has the heart and desire to improve his offense and will hopefully slowly get there like Jimmy Butler with hard work.
2)Isaiah Thomas close 2nd for me. Just has the heart of a lion and the desperation to win, like Marcus and Jae. Not afraid of anyone or any moment.
3)Jae Crowder. Close 3rd and a true Celtic. Has blown away all of our expectations with his toughness and willingness, like Marcus, to play as hard as he can on BOTH ends. Willing to defend and understands that defense is just as important as offense.
4)Avery Bradley. A staple and another workhorse that represents everything that is good about the Celtics. Gritty defender and worked on his game every off season. Has finally overcome injury woes and is a crucial piece for us whether as a piece of a championship team or an incredibly valuable trade asset to get us very close to contender status.
5)Terry Rozier. I love the pick and have been rooting for him all year after the BS reception that a lot of C's fans gave Danny and him for being our 16th pick instead of someone like Portis.
Kid has arguably the most superstar potential of anyone on our team (as in, although the odds are against him to an extent, he could actually be better than IT one day given the mix of his skill, athleticism and attitude).
