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

The Boston Celtics have seen a tremendous amount of turnover on their roster this offseason. 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. That isn't to say the team had Hall of Fame bigs in their prime manning the middle -- the likes of Bill Russell, Dave Cowens and Robert Parrish are not walking through the door -- but they had a rotation that unlocked what the team was trying to accomplish.
