Joel Embiid

The takes

If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. Do I think the Celtics got better this offseason? No.

Ashton Jeanty has a very obvious path to being a top five running back in the league. Maybe even top three. The guy already rushed for a thousand yards in his rookie season and was stuffed at the line at a 26% rate and yet he still had 1,200 total yards. He's getting a QB that's going to throw him the ball more and they just signed the best center in the league.
