A significant portion of the fanbase has desired — really for multiple years now — to move on from center Clint Capela. It all came to a head last season when Capela’s shooting percentage plummeted from 65% in 2022-23 to 57% in 2023-24.
He’s averaging just 10 points on just 23 minutes per game. And sure, he has no bag. He can’t hesi hang pull into a middie. Heck, he has trouble with five-foot hook shots from time to time.
But Capela remains great in his role, and you can’t tell the story of the defensive turnaround without his play so far this season.
