should also have a strong perimeter defense with rozier and smart then jerebko,kelly and zeller-jaylen unproven, green talks defense but has to prove it-and mickey needs to step up
it seems like the floor will get spread giving guards room
need some help with this group-any ideas
Barring injuries, I think it will be:
Tier 1: guaranteed big minutes until proven otherwise
Isaiah
Bradley
Crowder
Amir
Horford
Tier 2: guaranteed big minutes as bench players unless proven otherwise
Olynyk
Smart
I am not sure who will start between Olynyk and Amir.
Although NBA playoff teams tend to go eight deep, those are my top seven Celtics. I think they are the core.
Tier 3
Green
Brown
Rozier
Zeller
Jerebko
Tier 4
Mickey
Hunter
Jackson
I think that will be the final roster. I think neither Jerebko or Zeller are guaranteed anything. Their minutes could be in competition. Tiers one to three add up to 12 players. Everyone can't play.
The last three are my guess for how it finishes up. I see zero minutes for Hunter, Jordan Mickey or Jackson.
Green and Brown should be in competition for minutes.
Many think Rozier and Smart are in competition, but it's more like Smart is guaranteed minutes, Rozier not so much.
One never knows. A roster going twelve deep is quite impressive and reassuring.
