If you’re like me, having Luke Kornet as your primary backup center has caused you some concern over the last few weeks, especially as the Boston Celtics have continued to ignore the veteran big men that are currently available on the free agency market. I, too, was worried, especially for what might happen in the playoffs, or when facing some of the elite teams in the league in the latter part of the season.
However, before hitting the panic button, I wanted to go back and watch the film, and, rather than focus on the outcome of specific possession, focus on what Kornet was doing, and if it could translate to a larger role within the rotation.
