Posses: Keta is improving every year, is he worth more playing time with the Celtics?

Kristaps Porzingis, who just joined the Atlanta Hawks this summer, recently accepted an interview with reporters, and he also talked about the situation of Neemias Queta, the former team member of the Boston Celtics.

When asked whether Keta can become the Celtics' starting center in the new season, Porzingis said: Starting center? This is a good question. Who else is the Celtics inside now? Seriously, I don't pay much attention to their current roster situation, and what I want to say is that Nemias Keta is becoming a stronger player every season. I know that Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has very strict management of Nemias Queta's daily life. I also believe that Nemias Queta's current ability has met Mazula's requirements, and he should be able to truly get a stable playing time. I also know that Nemias Keta has been working hard, and you can also see his progress and improvement in this year's Men's Basketball European Championship. I'm really happy with Nemias-Keta's performance and I know he's a great guy, a cool guy. He spent a lot of time on daily training and improving his self-ability, and I'm glad he's got more playing time and performance opportunities.

In the NBA regular season last season, Keta made a total of 62 appearances, averaging 13.9 minutes, averaging 5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks, 0.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 65% and a free throw percentage of 75.4%. In the playoffs, Keta played 4 games in total, with averaging 3.2 minutes per game, with averaging 2.5 points, 0.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.2 steals per game, and 0.5 fouls, with an 83.3% shooting percentage. In the previous European Men's Basketball Championship, Queta played 6 times for Portugal, averaging 24 minutes per game, with averaging 15.5 points, 8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1 steal and 1.7 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 57.6%, his three-point shooting percentage was 28.6%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 65.7%.

Ketta also got relatively stable playing time and performance opportunities during the regular season last season. He also performed quite well in many games, proving his ability on the defensive end. Keta's performance in the previous men's basketball European Championship was even more impressive. Under his leadership, the Portuguese team also entered the European Championship knockout stage without being optimistic, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Given that the Celtics have lost a lot of inside players this summer and their goal in the new season may also be to train young players, Keta does have a chance to gain more trust in this situation. If Keta can show stronger competitiveness in the NBA field in the new season, his career may also change.
