true, but he is their x-factor. they will need him to have a role like last year. he is their most athletic player and their biggest/longest wing defender. he should be playing just as many minutes as Tatum. if anyone should be a casualty it should be Hayward. he needs to be getting 18-20 mpg not 25. how Kyrie said the Lakers were so long...well thats how the Celts are when you put Brown in that lineup with Tatum.
I don't disagree that he needs to cut into the minutes of Hayward and Smart or Morris (Especially now that his shooting is coming back down to earth).
Reality with Hayward is I don't think he'll be close to his pre-injury form until at least next season. But the Celtics have a lot of money invested in him and know what he's capable of so they're gonna try to get a return on investment.
