Do the Boston Celtics need to change how they use Mitchell Robinson and Payton Pritchard? This was the question being asked by "Locked on Celtics" podcast host John Karalis of his cohost Tom Westerholm on a recent episode of his show. And that is because both of these established veterans have had a bit of a slow start for the Celtics this season, causing some fans and analysts to theorize that it could be wise for Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla to change how he is using these two key Celtics players.
Should Pritchard start and Robinson come off the bench? Are there ways on the court to get them more engaged and a productive part of the team's play on both ends? Or are we getting ahead of ourselves given how much change the team underwent this
offseason and how early it is in the 2026-27 NBA regular season?
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about all of the above and more.
