Over the summer, the Minnesota Timberwolves made a seemingly minor move to decline Luka Garza's team option. Ultimately, this paved the way for him to sign with the Boston Celtics. Frankly, not much was thought of this move, despite the Celtics' need for a center.
Garza had only more than 10 minutes once, that was on a 23-win Detroit Pistons team as a rookie, for just 32 games. The Iowa product played three seasons with the Wolves, averaging 6.3 minutes and 4.5 points. While Garza's offensive talent was always clear, his defense held him back.
Nevertheless, Garza is thriving with the Celtics and has carved out a legit rotational role.
