Gordon Hayward is entering his second season after the very gruesome injury he suffered during his first game as a member of the Boston Celtics, in 2017. Having played nearly a full season last year on his new ankle, Hayward was able to average 11.5 points per game while playing 25.9 minutes per game. The Celtics are hoping that Hayward can return to his all-star form this season and contribute in a big way, as he continues to progress forward from his ankle injury.
With the Celtics using all four of their draft picks this year, they were able to fill some holes in their roster and gain a lot of depth along the way.
