Let’s start off with a piece of highly confidential information that you probably are not aware of: head coach Joe Mazzulla likes three-point shooting. We often want what we can’t have and the man with a 29.3% career shooting percentage from 3 in his collegiate career is now basing his coaching philosophy around it.
Given that it will be a foundation of the team, it begs a very important question: will the Celtics be able to maintain their elite three-point shooting next year?
Leaning into a three-point heavy attack makes sense with a team that makes them, less so with one that doesn’t.
