Celtics starting center may already be decided after Jayson Tatum drops hint

That includes at center, where it is unclear who will emerge as the starter to begin the season. If Jayson Tatum is to be believed, however, that decision may already have been made.
Center has been a position of strength for the Boston Celtics for the past few seasons.
