At the start of the NBA’s 2023-24 season, when backup Boston Celtics big man Luke Kornet took the floor for his team, fans of the ball club would often wince. The Vanderbilt alum looked lost, lethargic, and often made costly mistakes.

Now, the Boston big man is playing at a level good enough to be a second-string center on a team that needs him to be capable of filling in for one of the centers in front of him.
CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning praised Luke Kornet as he, Jimmy Toscano and Josue Pavon broke down his play in recent Celtics games on the “Garden Report” podcast. Check it out below!
