NEW FEATURE: How did the Celtics become what they are today? What really happened?

They studied.

First batch of Celtics 2026 NBA Draft scouting.

I've been watching two full games of every prospect and sharing my thoughts. The first three:

UConn's Tarris Reed Jr.
North Carolina's Henri Veesaar

@_BryceCutler I’ve only watched these three and a couple more but of the bunch I like Reed.

Excited to watch Zuby soon.

@lando917 It’s almost like you didnt watch the whole video

I’ve seen a lot of “Boston media mafia” accusations. Derrick White just had one of the most impactful defense seasons in recent memory.

Don’t let the bad taste of the playoffs erase what was an unbelievable defensive season.

[NikNBA🏀 @NIKNBAYT]

All the reasons why Derrick White was 1st team btw not sure why there’s *this* much hate on that

First Team All-Defense Derrick White

The 2025-26 Kia NBA All-Defensive First Team:

▪️ Rudy Gobert, @Timberwolves
▪️ Chet Holmgren, @okcthunder
▪️ Ausar Thompson, @DetroitPistons
▪️ Victor Wembanyama, @spurs
▪️ Derrick White, @celtics

[Jack Simone @JackSimoneNBA]

Payton Pritchard is the answer at point guard by the way

[Automatic @automaticnba]

Castle's turnovers have been bad no doubt, but he's also led the spurs by far in time of possession, so i wanted to look at how his TOV rate compares to the league over the last couple postseasons.

Here's a chart.

➡️ Throwing bad passes more often
⬆️ Losing the ball more often

[Jack Simone @JackSimoneNBA]

Tyler is great. HC in Maine 24-25. Back in Boston this year.

This is what Hugo Gonzalez had to say earlier this year:

“He’s an amazing coach, an amazing person… It’s hard to catch [up with] the game when you come from overseas… He has made my life easier in that.”

[Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer]

There’s a lot to untangle about the Blazers’ winding process here.

Sources say that Celtics assistant coach Tyler Lashbrook has also advanced to an in-person interview with Portland for the team’s head coaching vacancy.

Victor Wembanyama may force the Celtics into more drastic measures than they had hoped for

Wemby WHAT

[Jack Simone @JackSimoneNBA]

Joe Mazzulla isn’t perfect, but that doesn’t mean the Celtics should fire him.
