Too small? Too big? Questionable attitudes? Well, Isaiah Thomas and Jared Sullinger could just be Boston's best bets for immediate stardom.
Scoring: it's the most obvious quality of a star. Put up 20+ points a night and you're in rarefied air in the NBA. Only fifteen players averaged 20 or more points per game and only two of them did not make the All-Star Game. It's sexy and puts you on SportsCenter and when fans talk about stars, it's often the stat that they'll measure players by.
For the Celtics last season and really for the last two, the team has lacked a scorer.
