During a recent video from the 'Backyard Buckets' YouTube channel, the host claimed that Porzingis' return will have the rest of the NBA looking over their shoulders. They discussed what he brings to the floor, how he elevates the Celtics and why, if he's healthy, Porzingis ensures Boston remains favorites to defend their NBA Championship.

Combine that preference with the historic number of 3s they take themselves and Boston's strategy is built around dominating the math game involved in shot selection. As a result, their one "weakness" has been defense near the basket.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is on track to make his season debut against the Los Angeles Clippers following offseason ankle surgery.
