LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLORIDA – SEPTEMBER 15: Tyler Herro #14 of the Miami Heat drives the ball against Brad Wanamaker #9 of the Boston Celtics during the second quarter in Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals during the 2020 NBA Playoffs at The Field House at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports Complex on September 15, 2020 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

1. Brad Wanamaker

Boston Celtic’s guard Brad Wanamaker’s minutes went from only 10 minutes per game in his rookie season to over 20 minutes per game this past season.

Wanamaker is a 6’3″ guard who has a good in-between game. Wanamaker is a physical guard who can get to the basket. He does struggle from the 3-point line as he is only a career 30 percent shooter from behind the arc.

A good sign was that in the playoffs, Wanamaker shot 40 percent from three for the Celtics. If he can improve his overall shooting Wanamaker could develop into a good role player for an NBA team. Coach Brad Stevens used Wanamaker of the bench as an energy spark and for his defense. If Wanamaker found him self on the Grizzlies, you could expect Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins to use him the same way.
