Neemias Queta is well on his way of becoming another one of the Celtics developmental success stories. On Monday night, the 25-year-old got his first start of the season against the Hawks and after a rocky start, he course-corrected in the second half and showed why Boston invested in him this summer.
In a 30-point blowout, Queta finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, and a block and was a +31 on the night. It was a continuation of what’s been a positive stretch on this four-game road trip. He’d had three consecutive games with 10+ minutes in playing time before the start against the Hawks, including logging a +18 in a furious comeback in Indiana as the closing big.
