In an interview with CLNS Media after a recent practice, Dobbins highlighted the distinct qualities each player brings to the table, emphasizing the positive impact on the team's overall performance.\n\nDobbins noted, \"They were all working together as a group of three; it's great to see.\" The versatility provided by these big men allows the Celtics to call upon each player's unique strengths, elevating the team's level of play. Dobbins particularly praised Mitchell Robinson, expressing his appreciation for the rookie's performance and his confidence in his continued growth within the team's system.\n\nThe coach's positive outlook on Robinson's development suggests that he expects continued improvement from the young player. As the season progresses, Dobbins expects Robinson to further refine his skills and contribute even more effectively to the Celtics' success this year.",
