Description

BBallBreakdown's Coach Nick covered the FIBA World Cup, and saw astonishing developments from the Celtics cast present. He noted Kemba Walker holds the tendencies of using motion and momentum through screens with less dribbling than Kyrie Irving, troubling ball conflict with Donovan Mitchell emerged in the loss to France. 
Nick saw little progression from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, while he ripped into Marcus Smart's continued frustrating tendencies. The basketball video breakdown expert gave a look into what the Celtics could look like in 2019-20, and a "terrible showing" for the USA in FIBA.
