This is what looks to be this years Celtic team. If you minus the players that you know to a degree what they will bring to the table, you have a group of players that sit on 'the bubble." These are players that need to excel beyond expectations. Players that will push this Celtic team past the ECF.

IMO Tatum at 19 will need time, the kid has talent, but playing with grown men, that are hungry to win, many in their prime, will be a shock for him. He'll need to be brought along slowly. I could have put Brown in that group, but he's scheduled to play quality minutes in our rotations this year. 

IMO One, or even a few of these players will need to surprise us to give us the depth we'll need: Yabu, Semi, Nader, or Theis. Someone needs to surprise us, who will be that player?

Don't care who but I hope it's multiple guys because we will need it! So many rookies, we will be depending on at least 2-3 to do something!
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)

I'm not sure but I hope they all do well since they're Celtics.

I think Tatum changed from #11 to #0 and I don't know what number Larkin is going to wear, but you have both Irving and Tatum listed as #11 and Larkin listed as #0.
