Luka Garza has been a success story of the Boston Celtics season. The fifth-year big man joined the Celtics as a free agent during the summer, following the departures of Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Luke Kornet, via trade and free agency, respectively.<\/p>\n
Before landing in Boston, Garza had spent the past three seasons buried on the Minnesota Timberwolves bench, primarily due to the depth in talent at Chris Finch’s disposal. However, as part of the retooling Celtics roster, Garza found minutes easier to come by and has proven himself to be an elite screener, solid rebounder and talented perimeter shooter.<\/p>\n
