The Celtics have spent almost the entire season trying to figure out how to get the second unit to score points. They’ve tried all sorts of combinations trying to figure out how to coax more production out of that unit without adding miles to people’s legs.
In my new piece for Boston.com, I look at the Celtics newest acquisition, Greg Monroe, as the potential key to unlocking that second unit. Not with his scoring though, but with his passing.
According to NBA.com, Monroe has a 17.1% assist percentage this season. That would put him tenth among guys above 6’10”.
