    Neemi and The Chief

    I've been having some serious flashbacks watching Neemi develop this season to certain things one of my favorite Celtics used to do. Growing up watching the Chief in the Garden and on a rabbit eared foil ball TV, I remember some deep characteristics of his play style and demeanor, including using his lanky frame and winspan to alter and block shots throughout the paint, owning the dunker spots with an uncanny instinct to relocate into open space, a soft handed hook and jumper, boxing out with bony elbows, incredible durability and stoic face….

    I've watched Neemi's shooting touch really soften this year compared to the line drives he was throwing in the past, especially his short hook shots and floaters around the rim. I've also seen several flashes of a softer touch on his paint jumpers lately-a welcome move towards The Chief"s feather touch.

    I've also noticed the coaching staff has seemed to permission him to do some driving into the paint when distributing the ball doesn't look promising and an opportunity presents itself to take it to the hoop-in the past 6 weeks I've witnessed Neemi put the ball on the floor far more skillfully and athletically and fnish strong, much like Parrish in his prime.

    The more time Neemi spends receiving passes from pick n roll and iso drives the more sure his hands seem to get and at least in my eye test he is successfully finishing these opportunities at a significantly higher rate than earlier in the season… in fact some of JB's recent behind the back drive dishes to Neemi are reminiscent of (dare I say) Bird and Parrish?!

    Granted Neemi does show more emotion than the Chief but they seem cut from similar cloth-quiet but SCRAPPY under the boards and reasy to be physical and durable, even though both men are lighter framed than say Lambeer or Embiid, they use their bony lankiness to grear advantage, with the addition of Neemi's ever improving screen game..something much less in plsay in the 80's.

    Finally, earlier in ythe season i saw Neemin have numerous turnovers looking to pass to cutters in traffic, but I was really impressed with his desire to make those reads and look for assists to create easy layup buckets.

    Despite often failing at this (as he has often failed at having soft hands/court awareness receiving passes early in the season) I' m DEEPLY curious to watch him learn from Vuc and trackjhis ongoing development as a passer, my sense is Vuc could help him to turn this failing to execute instinct into an elite court vision assist stremgth.

    Also excited to see Neemi benefit from Vucs other veteran big man experience…after watching the coaches skill develop other players I could potentially see Neemi pulling a Horford and learning to developh his 3 ball/stretch big under Vucs tutelage–something unthinkable int the Chief's day.

    Curious about these thoughts, anyone else see any of these tendencies and similarities?

    Excellent game for Neemias. He plays a very smart game and reads the defense. He was a force last summer for Portugal and we are lucky he is playing for Boston.🍀
