Right now, everything to do with the Boston Celtics rotation is in a state of flux. Multiple players have left the franchise this summer, with a younger contingent taking their place. A result of those moves has been a lack of roster depth at the forward and center positions. Furthermore, there are multiple questions surrounding Anfernee Simon's longevity on the team and the lack of defensive upside across the roster.
Those questions have led to some heated debates online, as fans try to figure out what Boston's starting rotation is going to look like next season, and how the bench players fit into Joe Mazzulla's plans. Simple questions like whether Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard should start have turned into manuscripts from either side of the argument.
In the latest episode of "Taylor Talks Celtics," host Adam Taylor is joined by Cody Chalifoux to break down the ideal starting rotation for Boston and debate how that rotation impacts the bench unit and the overall minutes distribution on the team.
