The Celtics have acquired center Kristaps Porzingis in a three-team trade. Check out our analysis of what he brings to Boston’s lineup.
Porzingis is a dynamic offensive player who will add consistent outside shooting to the Celtics' frontcourt. He has scored 20-plus points per game in five of his last six seasons, including a career-high 23.2 points per game last year. The 27-year-old center has shot 35.9 percent from 3-point range in his career, including a 38.5 percent rate in 2022-23. Porzingis hit 47.
Porzingis is a quality rebounder, too. He has pulled down eight or more rebounds per game in four of his last five seasons. Porzingis also is a quality interior defender at 7-foot-3 and 240 pounds. He has blocked 1.8 shots per game in his career. And given how prevalent the pick-and-roll has become in today's NBA, Porzingis' ability to defend those plays at a high level is pretty valuable.
