The Celtics’ reported trade for Malcolm Brogdon helped them answer a pair of their biggest needs entering the offseason. However, it created a big question.
Brogdon’s started every game at point guard since the Pacers acquired him in 2019, leaving Friday’s trade to wonder if the Celtics would use him in the same role, replacing Marcus Smart, or if they have something else in mind for him.
It appears Smart will still start at point guard for the Celtics. Boston views Brogdon coming as a sixth man, The Boston Herald’s Mark Murphy reported.
