Can't shoot 3s. Pass.
Yeah, we like our big men skulking around the perimeter and allergic to rebounds!
/sarcasm
Ainge must realize that this is not a route to a Championship.
Wait, you mean RJ87 isn't better at running an organization than Ainge??
A simple review of our offense shows that DeAndre Jordan has very little fit.
There is a strong correlation with 3pt% to Minutes. It looks better as a chart, but don't feel like going through the work of uploading img.
Tier represents our preconception at the start of the season of where people would play:
Player Mins 3pt % Tier
Kyrie Irving 32.6 41.2% Starter
Jayson Tatum 31 38.2% Starter
Al Horford 28.3 36.2% Starter
Jaylen Brown 26.1 32.7% Starter
Gordon Hayward25.8 31.4% Starter
Marcus Morris 27.3 41.8% Bench
Marcus Smart 26.7 36.2% Bench
Terry Rozier 22.9 35.4% Bench
Aron Baynes 14.7 32.6% Bench
Daniel Theis 14.9 39.0% Situational
Semi Ojeleye 10.5 29.2% Situational
Within the buckets, people are getting minutes based on 3pt shooting. Clearest example is Marcus Morris. We know that he wasn't supposed to be a starter on this team, but he shot his way into the starting lineup.
If this is a coincidence, it's a really good one. Based on this data, their plays and how they move the ball, I am pretty certain that the Celtics
do not want players who cannot shoot 3s. Furthermore, the next time someone asks why Semi Ojeleye isn't seeing many minutes: it's because he can't shoot 3s. If he starts shooting 40% from 3, he'll be in the starting lineup within a week.
They will not go after Jordan unless they're planning on changing everything about the way that they play. </thread>
