Assuming TT is finally gone, who on the current roster is overpaid?

Note Al Horford will not be accepted as an answer. Thanks in advance.

Carsen Edwards. He has negative value since he is not even very good at his best skill: shooting.

Tommy points to both of you for the best two answers so far haha

I still dont get how people hate on TT so much.  For MLE money he gave us 11.4 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists Per-36 minutes, was reasonably efficient on offence (52% FG, 2.5 points for FGA), and had, by far, the highest free throw rate (36.8%) of anybody in our active rotation.

He came in on modest coin and did EXACTLY what he was hired to do.

He's a Kardashian and he can't shoot 3's for a big man. And Brad Stevens wants to ensure his bigs can shoot 3's.

What the guy does with his personal / romantic life is no business of anybody's and has zero impact on his value to a basketball team. 

And Rob Williams also can't shoot threes, Stevens seems to have no issue with playing him.

Fact is that he was a competent defender, an excellent rebounder, and was one of our more efficient players on offense.

Rk   Player            PTS/FGA
1   Tacko Fall          1.667
2   Robert Williams 1.600
3   Jabari Parker     1.333
4   Jaylen Brown     1.286
5   Jayson Tatum     1.282
6   Tristan Thompson 1.267
7   Marcus Smart     1.236
8   Kemba Walker     1.229
9   Payton Pritchard     1.222
10   Grant Williams     1.205
11   Aaron Nesmith     1.205
12   Evan Fournier     1.204
13   Tremont Waters     1.188
14   Semi Ojeleye     1.179
15   Carsen Edwards     1.111
16   Luke Kornet     1.073
17   Romeo Langford     0.939

Looking at this list above I think it's safe to say that TT was the least of our worries last season.
