For the past two seasons, the Boston Celtics have been able to roll out one of Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown with almost every group they put on the floor. Rarely have they run lineups with both stars on the bench. It’s a luxury not many teams around the league have.
This summer, the Celtics added to their pool of top shelf wealth, trading for Kristaps Porzingis. He’ll be the first true “third star” Tatum and Brown have had since Kemba Walker’s first year in Boston, and at that point, the Jays had yet to reach their full potential.
