And a Big part of that is Queta (who was a NBA top Net defender last week) and Minott-Walsh and Hugo when he plays.

Are either Pritchard or Queta long term starters? Does anyone think a Pritchard White Brown Tatum Queta 5 some is championship caliber?

Pritchard is best suited as a 6th man and Queta is best suited as the first big off the bench. Both can start and be pretty good but I don’t think you are a championship team with both in your starting 5.
I like Queta as a starter more than Pritchard.

That's how I see it. Both high end bench guys but low end starters. You can get away with one of them starting but not both if you want to be a title contender.

Agreed. Queta is higher than Pritchard. Queta can Start for stints, but Starting Pritchard is a big mistake.
PP is best leading the 2nd Unit.

Its just really encouraging that Walsh, Minott and Hugo have been as good defensively as they have been.

Next year when Tatum's back having these wings who can take the toughest defensive assignment will be big for savings Brown and Tatum's legs during the regular season.

The three point shooting is a bigger question mark, but none of those guys looks hopeless from three. They see confident shooting them at least.

And props to Garza. Before the two Orlando games I thought that guy was trash. Still don't love his defense, but he has made an impact on the class especially with his offensive rebounding. Has some touch too.

Yup, those 4 guys have shown some good promise. And the season is still very early on.

By March/April those guys could be even better than what they have shown so far.

Get Tatum healthy and add just 1 good player during the summer (via trade, free agency or draft) and this team is a contender next season.

I'm looking for the team to be .500 at the end of the month. Decembers schedule looks pretty easy. Team should have a better winning percentage that month.

Pritchard has been our second best player through 12 games.

That's not good.
Pritchard was on a big slide for most of those Games. He cannot be our 2nd best Player, if we want to go anywhere.

Pretty much by definition he won't be when JT is back.

Celtics move up to 7-7 on the year. now 3-5 in "clutch" games. They have @Brk, vsBrk and vsOrl (who is on 2nd night of a B2B) coming up, so they have a chance to stack a few wins here.
