Will new Boston Celtics big man Blake Griffin bring out the best of the team’s two star wings, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum?
After denying the club was interested in signing a veteran name for some time, a combination of injury concerns pushed the team to reconsider its stance.
The available veteran swingmen and bigs ranged from Carmelo Anthony to LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMarcus Cousins. However, the Celtics surprised everyone and opted for six-time All-Star Blake Griffin. While he might not be the bouncy athlete he became known as earlier in his career, his passing, rebounding and veteran leadership should help the team weather early injuries.
But will he help Tatum and Brown? The hosts of the Heavy “Celtics Collective” recently broke down Griffin’s fit in Boston, specifically how he’ll complement the Jays.
