The Boston Celtics have a good amount of talent stored on their G-League affiliate, the Maine Celtics.

With several former NBA rotation players, the G-League Cs are one of the better teams in their league and currently sit just outside the postseason picture after a 3-1 start.

Of course, the G-League schedule features two-game series’, so that 3-1 start means they swept one of their series (against the Atlanta Hawks affiliate College Park Skyhawks) and split the other (against the Philadelphia 76ers affiliate Delaware Blue Coats).

Ryan Arcidiacono and Luke Kornet are both buying into the offense and seeing their assist numbers soar, while Sam Hauser–outside of a shooting dud in Maine’s loss to Delaware–looks like his shooting touch should translate to the pro level.

Perhaps the most impressive member of the Maine Celtics is someone who may turn out to have the shortest tenure with this iteration of the C’s minor league team: Theo Pinson.
