The trick-or-treat nature of Neemias Queta was on full display. In 10 minutes, he had 5 points and 5 rebounds... and 2 turnovers. Rebounded a Celtic missed free throw, was fouled, and hit the shots. Scored and got fouled when the Celtics drove and dished to him. But also plenty of awkwardness from him. Set a pick for White but the defense defended White's drive well and he passed it back to Queta (who had done a sort of short roll), who took a dribble and then coughed it up - that was one of his turnovers. I want to see how much of his struggles are due to adjustment to the level of play in the NBA versus just a straight lack of talent.
Banton also showed a mix of good and bad. In 10 minutes, 4 points (2-4) and 5 rebounds, plus an assist and a block. Had a great drive, hang in the air, get fouled, and hit the shot, but then missed the FT. Attempted one three which missed badly. But he was an active presence and made some plays.
