5× All-NBA6× All-Star

Boston's franchise cornerstone and one of the league's premier two-way wings, a five-time All-Star and perennial All-NBA pick who's carried the Celtics to the mountaintop. He tore his Achilles in the 2025 playoffs and sat out all of 2025-26, so there's no fresh sample to rate — but at 28, on a max deal through 2030, he remains a bonafide superstar the moment he's back to full health.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
