The Boston Celtics came into the off-season with two clear-cut needs: playmaking and bench shooting. Both of those needs have been fulfilled, and the Celtics now have one of the deepest rosters in the NBA. However, as part of the deal to land Malcolm Brogdon, the Celtics had to part ways with Daniel Theis, and now, their center rotation is looking rather thin.
As things currently stand, Luke Kornet is the team’s primary backup center and will be starting the season with a significantly increased role to the one we’ve seen him occupy in recent seasons.
