Boston Celtics Season Preview

The Boston Celtics are supposedly going through a rebuilding year,after trading Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry to the Brooklyn Nets on draft day. In return, we received a solid young player in Marshon Brooks, as well as an aging Gerald Wallace, Kris Humpfries, and Kris Joseph. These few players will most likely not contribute much to he Celtics in the long run, except for Marshon Brooks. Humpfries has an expiring contract and there is still a chance that Danny Ainge may pull out another deal and trade Wallace and Humpfries. With Rondo out until hopefully early December with an ACL injury, the Celtics will have a team full of inexperienced players which will truffle without the help from their star point guard, Rondo.

The Celtics depth chart looks as is:

PG: Avery Bradley, Phil Pressey

SG: Courtney Lee,  Marshon Brooks, Jordan Crawford, Keith Bogans

SF: Jeff Green, Gerald Wallace

PF: Jared Sullinger, Brandon Bass, Kris Humpfries

C: Kelly Olynyk, Vitor Faverani

Until Rajon Rondo comes back, this is what the Celtics depth chart is going to look like. 7 of these players were not on the Celtics roster at all last year, and 3 of them are rookies. The season depends on how rookie big man Kelly Olynyk can do, as well as the developments of Avery Bradley and Jeff Green. This upcoming season may be a bad one for the C's, as they will most likely be a bottom feeder in the NBA. If the Celtics do have a bad season, then they will hopefully try to improve for the future by drafting one of the top prospects such as Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, Dante Exum, Joel Embiid, Chris Walker, or Marcus Smart.
