Noah Vonleh looks ready.
For the majority of the offseason, a pressing storyline around the Boston Celtics (outside of the Ime Udoka situation) has been the search for extra frontcourt help. And as soon as Danilo Gallinari and Robert Williams went down, that need increased tenfold.
There was nobody on the market who would have been able to replace what Williams brings to the table. Sam Hauser looks ready to step into a larger role similar to Gallinari’s, but the Celtics still need help at the five. Luke Kornet was supposed to step in, but a sprained ankle in training camp has forced him to miss all of the preseason so far.
