Luka Garza sees Boston Celtics big man depth as advantage, not obstacle
There is an addition to the Celtics' frontcourt that Garza is excited about in particular – former New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson.
Luka Garza, the Washington native and Boston Celtics center, views the depth at the big man position as a positive aspect for the team's future. Speaking post the first training camp practice of the 2026-27 NBA season, Garza emphasized the importance of each player contributing according to their strengths. He highlighted the group mindset and pride the Celtics have in anchoring the paint, controlling the rim, and protecting the glass.
Garza also expressed his admiration for Mitchell Robinson, the addition to the Celtics frontcourt from the New York Knicks. The Iowa-born player praised Robinson's exceptional glass-playing ability, stating that opposing teams must constantly box him out, a task made difficult by Robinson's sheer size. Garza was excited about having Robinson on the Celtics team, looking forward to the team's collective efforts to control the rim and improve their overall performance.
