Which Boston player are you most interested in watching?
Whitlow: Another obvious answer would be Isaiah Thomas. But, I’m going with #FutureBull Jaylen Brown. He’s made some good strides over the latter part of the season and Butler has already said he’s a big fan of Brown. He’s a freakish athlete that’s only going to get better over time. He’ll probably be taking turns guarding Butler along with Jae Crowder and Marcus Smart. Thomas is always a delight to watch, but Brown’s going to be a good one.
Fourte: I am most interested in seeing Isaiah Thomas, of course. It’s no doubt that he’ll thrust himself into a higher gear for this playoff run, especially being the top seeded Eastern Conference team to be feared. I’ll definitely be watching out for the fourth quarter of every game to see how he runs the offense the way he does. Barring a blowout, that is.
Sheetz: I’m going to keep a close eye on Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown because those are the guys I would want in a trade for Jimmy this summer including next years Brooklyn pick that is realistic (get in my mentions Celts fans). I feel like this series is going to history’s strangest basketball try out. Not that Jimmy is trying to play his way into a trade, but maybe he convinces them he’s worth that package I mentioned.
Berry: This might be a copout, but I’m most interested in watching Isaiah Thomas. He’s such a fun player to watch score, especially around the hoop. More than that, I’m interested in seeing how he performs in the playoffs. For much of the season the thought has been Thomas will be less effective in the playoffs, similar to last season. He returns to the playoffs a year later carrying a heavier offensive burden, and it will be intriguing to see how he handles it. Not only that, but I truly believe Rajon Rondo is going to make it his personal mission to stop Thomas. While I don’t think Rondo is capable of stopping Thomas, it should be a fun battle to keep an eye on throughout the series.
Coughlin: It’s Jaylen Brown all the way. Pretty much everyone else on that team is whatever.
