00:00I feel like I'm very talented.

00:01I'm one of the most talented people in this league, on this planet.

00:04I'm looking forward to showing the world more, which, great,

00:07because next season is going to be all about him.

00:09Like, you're the guy.

00:10Like, you are clearly the guy.

00:12Right, you asked for it.

00:13You're going to get it.

00:13Oh, my God.

00:14I mean, how many shots per game is he going to be allowed to take next year?

00:17Like, 25?

00:18I mean, we went through the numbers a couple weeks ago.

00:21We went through the numbers.

00:22I mean, with Jason Tatum out, you're missing about a quarter of your shots per game.

00:26Yeah.

00:26A quarter of your points, a quarter of your assists, a quarter of your rebounds.

00:29There's so much ground.

00:30And that's just Tatum.

00:31Then you've got Kristaps Porzingis.

00:33And Drew Holiday didn't shoot as much, but Drew Holiday also factors into that.

00:36Al Horford, just think about all the guys you lost.

00:38Now, again, it's going to be interesting to see how much they actually push him

00:42and how much they let him go because you don't want to overextend him.

00:44I think the Celtics, when you keep saying retool, that's a mini rebuild.

00:48Oh, it is.

00:48You're gearing up for next year.

00:50Like, we're going to see what happens.

00:51We're going to play free this year, see what happens.

00:53We've seen these teams go on a run before, but it's gearing up for next year.

00:57And are you going to overextend Jalen and potentially running the risk of him

01:01getting hurt or whatever?

01:03I don't know.

01:03No, probably not.

01:05So last year, Shea Gildress Alexander led the league in shot attempts per game

01:10at 21.8.

01:11Is Tatum fifth?

01:13Fourth.

01:1420.4.

01:14So four guys averaged 20 or more shots.

01:17Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Cade Cunningham, and SGA.

01:20Brown's going to smash that.

01:22That's crazy that SGA is that high considering how many free throws he takes.

01:25Yeah, how many real, like, actual shots did he take in the game?

01:27How many actual shots per game is he taking for...

01:29And then he also has nine free throws a game.

01:31Yeah.

01:32That's incredible that he's that high.

01:33But yeah, there's going to be tons of opportunity on this offense.

01:36Yeah.

01:37As much as people are talking about Jalen Brown as the true one, I'm also excited

01:40to see what can Derek White do as a two.

01:41Sure.

01:41What can Peyton Pritchard do as a three?

01:43Like, see what Anthony Simon's got.

01:45Like, it's going to be fun in that sense to see what they have.

01:48Because at this point, it's like, there are no expectations.

01:51That's just the reality.

01:52Like, Brad Stevens can come out as much as he wants and say, oh, the North Star

01:55is contending for a championship.

01:58Well, the North Star is miles and miles and miles away at this point.

02:01Like, you can't seriously enter the year with the front court that you have

02:05and be like, hey, no, don't worry.

02:06We're trying to contend.

02:07Like, you can't with the front court that you have.

02:09That's just not reality.

02:10So, it's going to be interesting.

02:12And it's going to be a lot of experimenting and finding out what you have

02:14on this roster for the future.

02:16And I think that's something that fans can be excited.
