In a nail-biting, exhilarating but ultimately meaningless preseason opening joust with the Queen City’s anything-but-royal Charlotte Hornets, the Boston Celtics shined in many areas…the center position was not one of them.
Discounting Enes Kanter‘s offensive output (his only role is to be that of a post-scoring specialist) the Celtics’ big-man platoon put up seven points. Vincent Poirier showed fundamentals, but also failed to hunt for his shot in the first five minutes of game-time in his NBA career. He didn’t attempt even a single layup despite having an opportunity to grabbing his only rebound on the offensive glass.
