Do the Boston Celtics have a redundancy problem with their All-NBA forwards Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown? This old chestnut seems to resurface every few months and will likely continue doing so until the pair hangs a banner of their own.
But banner or no, is there potentially a point? On a recent episode of the “Old Man and the 3” podcast, host JJ Redick spoke with Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla about the possibility on a recent episode. Mazzulla believes creative solutions, such as improving pick-and-roll play, can maximize their effectiveness on the court, and the addition of Kristaps Porzingis could provide a “curveball” which could take some pressure off Jayson and Jaylen.
To hear what they had to say in their chat about the Jays and redundancy for yourself, take a look at the clip embedded below.
