Boston Celtics' inside player Neemias Queta recently spoke to the media, in which he also talked about the team's changes in lineup this summer. The Celtics' lineup has undergone earth-shaking changes this summer, and it is generally expected that Keta will play a bigger role in the team in the new season. Previously, Celtics' inside rookie Amari Williams also said in an interview that he hopes to learn from veteran Keta.
Ketta said: It is a great thing to be able to gain more trust. A few years ago, I wasn't sure if I could stay in the NBA for a long time, but now the situation has changed completely. I am in a position that is good for myself, and I am now a veteran on the team. But I don't want to take it all for granted, because you never know what will happen tomorrow. I am very happy with the opportunity before me, and I want to prove my worth and let's start working as soon as possible. Keta also talked about Williams's desire to learn from himself, and continued: Whether it's Amari or other young players, I'm happy to help them as long as they need it. I'd love to help them get into the team faster and adapt to the pace of the NBA faster, just like others have done to me before.
In the NBA regular season last season, Keta made a total of 62 appearances, averaging 13.9 minutes, averaging 5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks, 0.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 65% and a free throw percentage of 75.4%. In the playoffs, Keta played 4 games in total, with averaging 3.2 minutes per game, with averaging 2.5 points, 0.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.2 steals per game, and 0.5 fouls, with an 83.3% shooting percentage. In the previous European Men's Basketball Championship, Queta played 6 times for Portugal, averaging 24 minutes per game, with averaging 15.5 points, 8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1 steal and 1.7 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 57.6%, his three-point shooting percentage was 28.6%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 65.7%.
Ketta actually began to play a more important role in the team last season, especially during the regular season, he also showed his characteristics in many games. In the previous European Men's Basketball Championship, he led the Portuguese team into the knockout stage, and his performance in the European Championship also left a deep impression on everyone. I wonder if Keta will become the team's starting center and show stronger competitiveness in the next new season. This may be a crucial season for his career?
