Exploring Adou Thiero as a potential Boston Celtics draft target

Exploring Adou Thiero as a potential Boston Celtics draft target
If the Boston Celtics want to add some explosiveness to their rotation this summer, they should look no further than Adou Thiero. The incoming rookie has shown exceptional athleticism throughout his time in the collegiate ranks. Furthermore, the Celtics have been short on an athletic punch off the bench in recent years.
During a recent episode of the "How 'Bout Them Celtics?" podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance dove into Thiero's highlights from this past season. The duo explored how he could fit with the Celtics, whether he could earn a rotation spot, and what kind of role he could potentially play within Joe Mazzulla's system.
Thiero played in 27 games this past season. He averaged 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists while shooting 54.5% from the field and 25.6% from 3-point range. Thiero spent his first two collegiate seasons with Kentucky before moving to Arkansas for his final year, before deciding to make the jump to the NBA.

Is Celtics' Joe Mazzulla on the hot seat next season?

Joe Mazzulla has just completed his third season as the Boston Celtics' head coach. Unfortunately, the team's season didn't end the way we all hoped, as the New York Knicks eliminated the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Furthermore, Mazzulla's coaching skill is set to be put to the test next season. Without Jayson Tatum, Mazzulla must develop some of the younger talent on the roster while also implementing a different offensive system. Throughout his tenure with the Celtics, Mazzulla has been the subject of consistent scrutiny, primarily due to Boston's 3-point-heavy offensive approach. However, that same system has seen the third-year head coach secure a 74% regular season win ratio, winning 182 of the 246 games he's led the team. Mazzulla's Celtics are also 33-17 in the postseason. Advertisement Cedric Maxwell and John Zannis recently debated Mazzulla's credentials as a head coach on a recent episode of the eponymous CLNS Media "Cedric Maxwell" podcast. The duo then asked the ever-important question of whether Mazzulla could survive a bad season for the Celtics in the 2025-26 campaign, especially with the team needing to bounce back the following year.

Are the Boston Celtics receiving crazy offers for two star players?

Jaylen Brown and Derrick White are both high-level talents for the Boston Celtics. Neither are expected to be available for trade this summer, despite expectations of Boston making significant changes to their current roster. Brad Stevens will likely explore avenues to get the Celtics under the second luxury tax apron, easing the financial burden associated with the current roster. Other teams around the NBA will be aware of Boston's willingness to make changes. That means that some of the bigger fish in the league may smell a hint of blood in the water, which is why ESPN's Shams Charania recently reported teams have "100%" been checking on the availability of Brown and White. 'However, are teams now making big offers and calling about Jaylen Brown and Derrick White? One hundred percent,' Charania said during a June 11 episode of The Pat McAfee Show. 'The Celtics prefer not to trade them, from my understanding, but listen, if they get a big offer, they have to look at everything. And I think they're going to get, you know, offers on the three guys that they're focused on. They're going to get offers potentially on Derrick White and Jaylen Brown. And I think between now and the draft and free agency, they're going to evaluate what makes sense from a value perspective.' Advertisement In a recent episode of "The Basketball Bulletin," host Tom Lane discussed Charania's report and the rumors that have since followed. He explored what a potential trade of either White or Brown could look like, why the Celtics would or wouldn't make the trade, and how it could impact the Celtics moving forward.
