Make a bold prediction for one Celtics player this season

[shackles10]

Banton will be the reason they trade PP

While I consider myself a top 3 PP stan, I would love to see Banton, a 6'9ish PG blossom. Since my 1980s Celtics, I have always loved and believed in Big teams across the board. If Banton is or can be a pass first PG with enough shooting ability to keep defenses honest, then I am all for it.

Flip side I see PP having a surprisingly great year for a reserve. His shooting/play-making will rise with his new opportunities.

I would love it too because of the size versatility and if he can even be a serviceable shooter I think that helps more with his defense and ability to play closer to the rim and cut as well than a bump in shooting would make. Also I'm certain PP reads this stuff and needs motivation. Also also I was just trying to be bold

PP at this moment should be motivated by one thing and one thing only.. Getting The next contract.

Svi becomes a deadly bench weapon.

[El Hespiritu]

La Mar will start games as 5.

[165bows]

Sam Hauser will lead the NBA, period.

Well this is holding up well so far.

I think we are going to be surprised at how much Svi Mykhailiuk contributes this season. I think he becomes a rotation 2nd team guard behind Holiday and White. The wide open looks he will get playing alongside those two, hitting 40% from three, not to mention running with Tatum and Brown, it's going to be a beautiful thing.

As a side note, I would love to see a 2nd team of Pritchard, Svi, Hauser, Brissett and Horford. Bombs away, baby!!!

Boy was I wrong so far. Svi cannot even get on the court.

My post in October didn’t go through. Any way I said JB would lead the team in victory cigs after the first 25 games.

They all seemed to have a little promise, not much from the new guys yet. Have to give it to the Queta-ites so far, he’s probably shown the most especially compared to expectations.

Randomly feel like Stevens might be the one to emerge from the roster guys as a late dark horse at this point, but all of them washing out feels like a strong possibility as well.

• Hauser posterizes Giannis
• Svi posterizes Embiid

[Jammer]

• Hauser posterizes Giannis
• Svi posterizes Embiid

The thread asks for BOLD Predictions, not Unrealistic ones.

One of them is happening. Leaning Hauser based on minutes.

Edit
Also Svi more likely to be in in the 4th and Embiid more likely to be out in the 4th.

Queta gets a 4 year deal. If he doesn’t, we won’t be able to match his RFA offers.

He can't get a 4 year deal.

He can't get a 4 year deal.

Then I guess he gets upgraded to 1 year deal and then likely gets more than the minimum we can afford.

That is definitely a bold prediction.

Been wanting this all season.

[TheMartian]

Tatum reads RealGM, sees all the negative comments about him from mainly Celtics fans, forces a trade to the Lakers.

[Parliament10]

Interesting to see all the Predictions, 3.5 month later. -- I never made one, not knowing too much about all of our new guys.
But now with more evidence, I think that it's a no-brainer that we Convert Queta, to be available for the Playoffs.

I don't think that he'll actually play much in the Playoffs, unless Injuries plague us.
But, he will be eligible. = That's my Prediction, going forward.

[Parliament10]

How does everyone's Prediction match up, now that we're in the Playoffs?

Sam Hauser will lead the NBA in made threes per 100 possessions

He finished 5th with 5.6 made threes per 100. Only Curry (7.1), Merrill (6.6), DiVincenzo (6.0) and K. Thompson (5.7) in front. He was both the youngest and most accurate shooter of the group (at 42.4%) so I wasn't too far off.
