Also, last night Walsh and Minott were both in the Game, without a True Center.


So was Pritchard. He was in the game too, without a center. That doesn't make him a center. Queta was out. Garza was out. We played without a center. That doesn't make him a center.

As far as Harper, he can't handle the ball like a PG or pass like one. He is more of a SG/SF. This team doesn't even have minutes for Hugo right now. Harper won't get off the bench in Boston.

I beg to differ. Harper Jr has been the Primary Ballhandler a number of times.
Agree. That as a 3rd PG-type he likely wont get off the Bench, much.

Also, just because a Player doesn't fit the prototypical mode for a PG, or a Center for that matter, doesn't mean that they are not one.
Celtics have often had SF/PG's, and other multi-position Players, throughout their history. Evan Turner comes to mind.

I guess you could say, that we played without a PG, or without a Center, but that's semantics.


Harper is a combo that can handle the ball. He isn't a prolific PG, but can handle the position, as we don't have a true PG. Shulga isn't a PG either and Hayden can't handle the ball at all

A Primary Ballhandler, that isn't classified as a PG?
That's Semantics.

Same thing with Minott and Walsh. They're Not Official Centers, but they Played Center.
If they're the biggest players in the Game, then they're the Bigmen/Centers.

Again, whatever stickler words you want to use.
Semantics.

No problem at all :)

And Harper was named G-League player of the week posting 36.0 points, 7.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds for Maine as they went 2-0.
