The Boston Celtics are currently a team in the midst of a hot streak, as they have come away victorious from three of their last four outings, one of which coming in the form of a near 30-point drubbing against the Portland Trail Blazers.

However, even with this upward trend that now has them boasting a plus-.500 record of 13-11 and has them stationed in the sixth-seed out in the Eastern Conference standings, by no means should the coaching staff and front office consider their current rotation a finished product.

Recently, Zach Buckley stated that erratic shooting was Boston’s most glaring issue, citing their poor conversion rate as a major reason for their quarter-season woes:

"Collectively, this club is converting just 32.8 percent from range, which ranks 25th across the league. Jaylen Brown is the only player among Boston’s top-seven scorers clearing 35 percent from three, while sub-24-percent-shooting sophomores Aaron Nesmith and Payton Pritchard have apparently bricked their way out of the rotation"
