Then_Fun2933

3 | 3 hours ago

Nice small sample size. If he made 1 more shot then he would basically be at his career averages. Pistons just signed the younger version of him…

Resident-Cancel7284 | Pistons

1 | 2 hours ago

He’s had good years from 3, but he’s also noticeably declining. His Boston shooting stats regular season and playoffs are really bad. Below league average TS%, even worse for centers.

Career playoff 3pt shooter of 33%, and he’s been shooting em every time he’s played relevant playoff minutes. He had 1 good series from 3 where he shot 41% vs the bucks in 2022, and the rest have all been really bad.

I just don’t buy that he’s some sharpshooter. Especially for a team aspiring for playoff success like Orlando, and especially as he gets into his high 30s. And obviously, just about the entire rest of his game is really bad in 2026.

Fine for the price, but that’s why his price is so low.

GlacialTwitch

He shot well last season when he was on the Bulls. Celtics partially small sample size noise.

LouieM13 | NYK

He had a lot more open looks on the Celtics tho

GlacialTwitch

Do you have stats to back that up? He took 6.9 3PA per 100 possessions on the Bulls, 7.9 on the Celtics. Not a huge difference.

LouieM13 | NYK

1 | 3 hours ago

All I have are basic stats and the eye test.

GlacialTwitch

1 | 3 hours ago

According to nba closest defender stats, he had 2.4 3PA per game with the closest defender 6 feet or more away with the Celtics, 3.8 with the Bulls. Even on a per minute basis, that’s more with the Bulls.

This is definitely a make it or break it year. They’ve been competitive for the past few seasons but if they get knocked out the play-in or at best be an early exit in the playoffs again that’s pretty concerning

jrlandry | Celtics

Hard to rebound when you are played off the floor cause you can’t play defense and you can’t make your shots. Mo Wagner is a significantly better player at this point, that’s not a comparison

ConsequenceFunny1550 | Magic

1 | 3 hours ago

You must have not watched any Magic basketball because coming out of his injury Wagner was also unplayable

Sko_Neezy

I think his lack of defense becomes palatable if surrounded by 3-4 great defenders and the Magic occasionally put that on the floor, they’ll get value out of him

jrlandry | Celtics

The Celtics put 3-4 good/great defenders around him and he still sucked. Idk what value there is to get out of him
