Brad Stevens said he thinks Shane Larkin will be "really impactful" for Celtics. Said he can see him playing some mins next to Kyrie, Rozier

Surprising

No kidding.  Been sayin this for months.

I made a fanpost about him a while back as someone the C's should be looking at in terms of the draft. Not thrilled with where his career has ended up thus far but hopefully he can be an asset.

I mean, I guess that is an auto-TP for you given that nobody else in the world has cared much about this guy's career and then, alas, he ends up in Boston.

Not sure what he really has to offer other than legit PG depth, but not disappointed with the signing. We were all confused about his presence before the trade (since he made #16) - makes me wonder if the Cs knew the trade was coming long before it happened.

I always thought that Larkin had a lot of talent on the offensive end but he always gave it all back on the defensive end. Hopefully he's improved his defense.

I think the C's knew IT was broken and were looking to unload him before his value plummeted.

Is this just coach-speak? Like, he plays for Stevens, so of course Stevens is gonna say nice things about him. I don't see anything in Larkin's history that should give anyone legitimate confidence he'll be any kind of difference maker on the court.

Yes.  But if I remember correctly, he has like a 60" vertical.  That's kinda fun.  And he's small enough to possibly fill a fraction of the void the IT trade has left in the hearts of more emotional fans.
