Boston Celtics: Enes Kanter’s presence in the second unit would be invaluable for the team’s youthful bench

Despite his defensive struggles, Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter is one of the most talented bigs in the NBA today.

He’s a walking double-double with impressive post moves, a reliable mid-range shooting stroke and a knack for gobbling up boards (specifically on offense). However, despite his imposing set of skills, it appears Head Coach Brad Stevens is still up in the air on whether the Turkish center should start or come off the bench during the 2019-20 season.

While this may have looked clear during Boston’s first preseason matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, as Kanter came off the bench in the contest, Stevens brushed up on his thought process after practice earlier this week.
