Give me all of the bald Derrick White content material I can get. I wish to know what each one among his teammates thinks of his new look, and in addition what impressed him to make the change.
Benjamin Torbert: I’m trying ahead to the primary spherical of “completely happy to be a Celtic” quotes from Porzingis that begin to endear him to the fan base. Due to the distinctive relationship between Cs followers and Good and the shock of the commerce, Porzingis has actually by no means been “welcomed” to Boston the way in which we would anticipate for an acquisition of his stature. As followers begin seeing him an increasing number of in Celtics inexperienced and consuming the content material that comes out from media day, I anticipate the thrill for Porzingis to develop.
Noa Dalzell: I’m excited to see who emerges as vocal and chatty with the media. It’s well-known that Marcus Good and Grant Williams have been each media favorites and have been all the time keen to be candid, and there’s an entire new crop of unknown guys that may make their first character impression. Who’s going to be loud within the early days of coaching camp? Who can have a big vocal current? When huge personalities exit, it makes room for others to develop, and I’m desirous to see what – and who – that appears like.
Sam LaFrance: I all the time benefit from the enjoyable interviews that 98.5’s Toucher and Wealthy do at media day. Final 12 months, they sat Grant Williams down and performed Settler of Catan with him and it was unbelievable. I believe additionally they requested Malcolm Brogdon about that courtroom present that his dad used to do. So, I supposed I simply love me some good content material.
Mike Dynon: How a lot enjoyable did everybody have at Marcus Good’s marriage ceremony? The visitor checklist included Wyc Grousbeck, Brad Stevens, Joe Mazzulla and Ime Udoka, and the pictures have been wild. Anybody have behind-the-scenes tales to share?
Bonus subject: Derrick White’s shaved head.
Daniel Poarch: One factor is definite: this workforce now belongs totally to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Each have loved large progress on the courtroom as gamers, however with Marcus Good now suiting up for the Grizzlies, they’re going to have to indicate that they’ve grown as leaders, as effectively. It’s going to be a very totally different dynamic within the Celtics locker room than we’ve seen up to now, and I’m actually to see what that’s going to seem like. The Celtics have made a robust guess that their star duo is as much as the duty.
Bobby Manning: Love the brand new coaches, together with Charles Lee and Sam Cassell, but additionally Amile Jefferson and Phil Pressey. They’ll present huge personalities within the room, better dedication than the solid round Joe Mazzulla final 12 months and will deliver out a greater model of Mazzulla this season. Assembly the brand new personalities, total, will develop into the enjoyable half in our bizarre Celtics world. I’m significantly excited to cowl Oshae Brissett this season, who I spent two seasons writing about at Syracuse.
Trevor Hass: Is that this the 12 months Deuce Tatum earns a roster spot? He’s nearly 6, and he’s dominating each time we see him play. Does Jayson nonetheless have the sting 1-on-1 within the driveway? Can Deuce dunk on a 10-foot hoop but? Who’s the very best participant within the household? These are solutions we have to know.
