On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff begin to evaluate the season thus far, especially focusing on the stars and the Celtics’ depth. This year’s squad needs Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum to make a leap and Kemba Walker to get healthy.

The crew also discusses the likelihood of that future and regrets previous limitations they put on Jaylen Brown’s ceiling. Then they evaluate the new free agents Tristan Thompson and Jeff Teague as well as review Brad Stevens’ evaluation of those players.

The guys update Romeo’s return and potential impact and the massive hole on the wing that Aaron Nesmith is simply not ready to fill.

They also play a game of True or False: Is Tristan Thompson a worse Embiid defender than Enes Kanter? Is Semi Ojeleye an acceptable rotation player for a deep playoff team?

Finally Mike and Josh get into another argument about whether leadership and skill development parallels exist between the NBA and the traditional workforce.
