Put me in coach!
You know the drill, this is another Summer Forecast topic from Forsberg. Here's the question:
Will Thomas be a long-term starter for Boston during the 2015-16 season?
"Long-term" is the key here. We're talking more than just an injury replacement or short term experiment. Thomas clearly wants to start, but he seems like a great fit off the bench. Something has to give.
The results of this poll were pretty surprising. Almost all the people asked said "no." Example:
The Celtics likely want to slap opponents around with hard-nosed defense to start games and then come in with their offensive unit midway through the opening quarter, making Thomas a preferred option to come off the bench.
