After joining the Boston Celtics at the trade deadline last season, Isaiah Thomas was immediately recognized as the best player on the team. The Celtics had no go to scorer on their starting unit and Thomas was exactly that coming off the bench. His 19 points per game blew away anyone else on the roster and he sparked the best run of the season for the team.
A lot of people are calling for Thomas to be a starter with the Celtics but the problem is the person currently starting ahead of him. Marcus Smart is no where near as polished of a player as Thomas.
