On Monday, the Boston Celtics officially announced the hiring of Ime Udoka as the franchise’s next head coach. While Udoka has yet to be a head coach in his career, I think there’s a very good chance he could be exactly what the Cs need to hang banner 18 up in the rafters in the near future.
When it comes to the profile that Brad Stevens and the Celtics were looking at for their next head coach, Udoka checks off pretty much all the boxes.
