Who sacrifices most? Tatum, Jaylen or Porzingis

[Jammer]

Hopefully Jaylen.

I don't think any of them will need to sacrifice. Ball will be in Tatum & Jaylen's hands as often as ever, and they will be running a lot through Zinger. Zinger opens up a whole new dimension. I think it's possible that Tatum, Zinger, and Brown's Shots Per Game go down a bit, but I would imagine they're all more efficient this season because the quality of shot will be better. It'll be too difficult for opposing teams to guard these guys. If JT/JB/KP play unselfish basketball, and look for the right match-up, it'll be a beautiful thing to watch.

Celtics fans will sacrifice the most.

Jaylen will definitely handle less. Book it. I think he felt like he had to be the lead guy when Tatum was out (or hobbled like in G7), now he doesn't need to shoulder that. His usage should be in like 27% or so. I don't expect KP to score 23ppg, there's only 1 ball and it's going to Tatum in crunchtime, but if he gives us 20 and JB gives us 23 we will be in great shape. The key thing is ball movement and efficiency. The best way to improve our efficiency is to make life easier for Tatum.

Hopefully the team plays faster this year and moves out of the bottom tier in the pace department. So they all give up some usage but maybe not a ton of points lol.

I feel like they might do just the opposite. While we are opportunistic fast breakers this team seems built to operate at best in the halfcourt. KP is decidedly a halfcourt weapon. In truth, JB is the only player on this team who is at his best when out in the open court. Otherwise this team seeks operate in the halfcourt moving the ball to locate mismatches or simply break down the rotations of the defense. If anything, I see JB doing even more running by himself.

Yeah true about KP. Was mainly thinking about moving from Smart to White and that will result in overall faster play. But Horford ironically is still one of the fastest guys in game action end to end in terms of pushing pace, KP my guess is that’s true on that.

Don't need to be the 80's Lakers, but even half-court offense is aided when you can attack unsettled defense. Hope Mazzula took some notes from Ime and has KP inbounding the ball rather than Rob.

White certainly is a quick processor that's for sure. He diagnoses the right play as quickly as anyone.
