As the Celtics try to escape from the doldrums of mediocrity, it’s become abundantly clear that point guard is one of their most pressing needs.
Dennis Schroder’s inconsistency can be maddening, and his play is a microcosm of that of the whole team. Marcus Smart is still a walking Tommy Point, as always, but his talents may be put to better use as a sixth man. Payton Pritchard has shown flashes, but at this point he’s more of an eighth or ninth man.
If the Celtics decide they want to find a new starting point guard, one name to consider is Monte Morris of the Denver Nuggets.
