IF Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are better playmakers, THEN Aaron Nesmith starts
For Brown and Tatum to make plays, someone has to be finishing them. That means adding shooting around that dynamic duo. We haven’t yet seen Nesmith start next to Brown and Tatum. When the Celtics did go small last Monday, Ime Udoka opted for Juancho Hernangomez at the four. That’s still a possibility and with COVID putting Brown and Al Horford into the league’s health and safety protocols, there won’t be a dress rehearsal for whomever Ime Udoka starts next Wednesday.
