The next guy the Boston Celtics sign should either be a big man or a backup point guard. Let’s get that out of the way now.
At center, there is plenty of question marks after losing Al Horford in free agency and tarfing away Arron Baynes for cap space. Enes Kanter was the most effective replacement they added, but his winning contributions come almost exclusively from the offensive end.
Behind him, young players like Daniel Theis and Robert Williams should soak up the other minutes at the five. Vincent Poirier out of Baskonia of the EuroLeague was added for depth, but the lack of certainty ahead of him could thrust the big man into minutes with the second unit.
