Team Note: Celtics may have problems with their athletic ability. It depends on Mazula s tactics

August 4th, Celtics reporter Brian Robb wrote an article about the team's lineup in the new season.

When asked how to view the Celtics' "the worst athletic lineup in the league", Brian Robb said: "It's an interesting statement, although you're sure to be right in the frontcourt. Kota can complete the alley relay and is a good blocker, but Garza, Nyan and Tillman will certainly not impress anyone on the court.

"Other positions, although there are some athletic shining points, it's undoubtedly a weakness compared to other teams. Josh Minnot will stand out in this regard, and Derek White is probably the best backcourt protector in the league. Jaylen Brown in a healthy state can be as fast as lightning in the transition attack.

"Honestly, given the game pace this team may take next season, the lack of offensive athleticism may not be too obvious. But on the defensive end, that may be another matter, depending on what roster Joe Mazura tends to use."
