NBA All-Stars: Frontcourt Eastern Conference Reservisten
Things get a little more difficult here, with Bam Adebayo (Heat) we only have one player who is beyond any doubt. Miami is once again struggling with numerous injuries, Adebayo is the only constant here, even if, funnily enough, the Heat are better without Adebayo than with him, which is mainly due to a lot of shooting luck.
To do this, we need a second Celtics player at this point and choose Jaylen Brown, who is listed for the frontcourt this season. We were quite critical of the 27-year-old at times, but Brown has been delivering for weeks now and has also developed very good chemistry with Kristaps Porzingis. Compared to last year, Brown is more efficient, has fewer turnovers and has almost four assists per game, more than ever before in his career.
The third spot then goes to Kristaps Porzingis, the third Celtic in the league. That might be a bit too much, but the Latvian plays too well to be ignored here. Players like Paolo Banchero, Scottie Barnes and Julius Randle certainly have more responsibility, but Porzingis’ influence on both ends of the field is undeniable, including a true shooting rate of almost 66 percent. Porzingis makes a strong Celtics defense even better with his rim protection, He can also be a role player and go-to guy at the same time, and the Celtics often looked for the unicorn in crunch time.
