After watching the first Rockets game under HC Udoka, it’s become apparent that adjusting to Udoka’s style will take some time and involve some growing pains.

I just wanted to get some form of context regarding his first head coaching stint in Boston. How long did it take for the Celtics to get going under Udoka, and what were some of their specific struggles early on?

    Just a couple things, I think you’re pretty much right with most of the Rockets young players although I’d add that Tari is the only one that I have zero worries for particularly that he is huge on hustling and playing defense. Green, I still think has potential to be in the Lavine/Beal tier of 2-guards but needs to take a step forward this year though.

    To get to 33 plus wins though, they’ll definitely need to see their top picks to justify their selections, particularly with Jabari developing as a weak side shot blocker and decent shooter/self creator, Alpi being neutral on defense and Jalen becoming more efficient and not a liability defensively.
