Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum loves what Luke Kornet is bringing to the group both on and off the court (averaging 6.2 PPG/5.0 RPG/2.1 APG/0.6 SPG/0.8 BPG/0.5 TOV/73.7% FG/85.7% FT/+5.5 +/- over the last ten games).
(via CLNS Media):
“Luke is one of the best teammates that you can have. Extremely selfless guy. Always talking. Never has a bad day. Extremely funny. He’s always cracking jokes, and some serious moments, like it could be during the middle of a game, in the locker room, always on the bus and on the plane. So obviously what he brings on the court, he’s been playing extremely well lately: being extremely physical, getting second and third chance offensive rebounds. The way he started that game in New York with protecting the rim just kinda set the tone for us. His ability to set and stick screens and catch the ball in the seam and find the kickout. He just unlocks some things for us that maybe other people don’t notice, but he’s a huge part of our team and a big part of our success.”
