Albeit a small, 5 game sample size, the numbers suggest Jonas Jerebko deserves more minutes. In the Celtics 3 losses this season, Jerebko has averaged 12.3 minutes per game. In the 2 wins, the Swede has averaged 17.5 mpg. There we have it. Problem solved. We need to start the Swedish Larry Bird and play him all 48 minutes! You’re welcome Brad. No in all seriousness, what can be more important than numbers is the eye test, but Jerebko is producing in both. When he’s on the court, there is a clear uptick in Boston’s defensive intensity, more switches, and tipped passes.
Has Jonas Jerebko earned more minutes? Ja!
