Luke Kornet growing comfortable in larger Celtics role

Luke Kornet’s game reflects his personality, substance over style. He rarely looks to shoot. His hair flows over his forehead, the opposite of Gordon Hayward’s fade.

Kornet jumps to contest perimeter jump shots across the court, because he heard it works as a deterrent. Even if it earned him an early season appearance on Shaqtin’ a Fool.

He’ll sport a short stubble and muse about candy corn on the jumbotron, and Kornet kept contesting shots at the rim even if it placed him on multiple posters to start the season.

“He’s not about flash, as you can tell with his big old black shoes and white socks,” Nicole Kornet, his sister, told CLNS Media/CelticsBlog last year.
