With their recent team-friendly signing of former Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder, the Boston Celtics find themselves heavier in the backcourt than they had perhaps anticipated, bringing up an unexpectedly pleasant choice to sort out, at least at present.
Who ought to get the nod as the team’s starting point guard on opening night — German Rondo or veteran guard Marcus Smart? While there have been rumbles Smart was to take on a larger role as the team’s primary floor general in the coming 2021-22 NBA season, does this new wrinkle throw a potential wrench into those plans?
The folks over at the CLNS Media podcast “The Garden Report” asked themselves this question in their latest podcast, debating how best to use each in the Celtics’ coming campaign.
Watch the video embedded above to hear their takes on Boston backcourt next season, particularly after recent reporting of a plan to put the ball in the hands of Smart more often.
