Boston’s new big man loving the pace
Luka Garza, Boston’s summer signing, is embracing the fast-paced system. He’s focused on setting up Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Payton Pritchard and others while making timely runs. The 2021 National Player of the Year says this is the right opportunity at the right time.
After years of limited minutes in Detroit and Minnesota, Garza now has a guaranteed two-year, $5.2 million deal and a coach he’d happily run through a brick wall for—though fans would prefer he saves that energy for rebounds.
