Can the Boston Celtics shock the NBA next season?
Brad Stevens has overseen a significant amount of change with the Boston Celtics roster this summer. As part of the retooling process, he's signed multiple young talents that have struggled to make their mark since entering the NBA. The hope is that with a bigger and more consistent role, at least some of the new additions can increase their market value in the coming months.
Joe Mazzulla will now be tasked with leading a young and inexperienced rotation. Some players will likely get to earn a spot on the next championship-contending team, while others will potentially be flipped in the future when Stevens decides to go back star-hunting. Still, the first step is ensuring the current roster can find ways of being competitive in the coming months.
During a recent discussion between Wes Goldberg and Matt Moore for "Real GM Radio," the duo discussed how the current Celtics roster can defy expectations heading into the new season. It's worth remembering that while there are some legitimate questions about Boston's current roster, it does still boast Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser.
