Macklin Celebrini is in must-watch form, consistently operating at an elite level through the season's opening games. While his point-per-minute efficiency remains remarkably stable, a notable 2.7 percentage point bump in shot efficiency suggests he's finding higher quality shooting opportunities, culminating in his first goal of the season after a dominant playmaking stretch. Expect him to continue driving offense with both his vision and an emerging scoring touch.
