Poll: What big will surprise this year

[KG Living Legend]

 I always forget about poirier I think that he could step up basically though the order that I selected is what I'm hoping for.

 Robert Williams stepping up and becoming the player that I think a lot of us think that he can become would be an absolute gem for the Celtics he brings a lot of what we need world class athlete at that size.

 Can cover tons of ground step out and cover the pick-and-roll defend the rim monster rebounder the best alley-oop Target in the NBA or at least one of them.

 Grant Williams is so smart and skilled I feel like he's going to find ways to contribute and I can't wait to see him playing with other great teammates.

 And tackos going to the Hall of Fame obviously.

[KG Living Legend]

 And you add to the mix Kanter, and that's six big men with various skills for Stevens to play with and I am going to put some pressure on Brad to play at least one of these bigs big minutes.

 As much as I love Tatum I do not want to see him playing tons of power forward there is plenty of options here Brad find the guy that you like and give him some run.

 

[Who]

Pourier = guessing he has a solid grasp of how to play on both ends given his level of experience abroad.

I am expecting a low mistake player who rebounds very well. Different from the team's other bigs who are likely to be more up and down.

Grant Williams would be my second choice. So skilled & cerebral.

[wdleehi]

I am choosing Robert because out of all of them, him being a big surprise would help the team the most. 

[Donoghus]

Grant Williams. 

I could see him going a bit Ryan Gomes for the C's.

interesting comp.  Ryan could do a little bit of everything.  hoping Williams can too, only better.

Grant Williams.

He's a rookie so trying not to get TOO high on him but I really like his game despite the low ceiling. I think he could be a useful bench piece.

I'm really hoping Timelord makes the leap but that wouldn't be surprising to too many of us, so I guess it doesn't quite qualify.

[footey]

Brad Stevens said this team has a chance to be a great defensive team.

That can only mean one thing to me:

Time Lord will get the opportunity to play a good dose of minutes.

[Moranis]

Tatum

I was surprised already by him, in Summer League, because of his passing skills and willingness to move the ball, and even more so by his feel for the game and his floor vision.

If Grant Williams is a big, then so is Semi Ojeleye.

 I hear you I made fun of Grant Williams height more than anyone right after we drafted him he's like legit six foot five send me is about the same height and also jacked like Grant.

 However that's when the comparison is stops Grant William is a better screener a better passer a better shooter a better player.

 Semi is a defensive specialist and a world-renowned bricklayer seriously though Sammy needs to improve his shot if he hopes to get any real run.

Tatum

 Tatum is a brilliant small forward or wing prospect. To call Tatum a power anything right now is just a joke look at his legs.

 if you look up weak in the dictionary you'll see a picture of Tatum's pathetic legs.

[Sophomore]

I wanted to vote for Kanter - that he turns out to be decent on defense would be a wonderful surprise.

[PhoSita]

I think Robert Williams will surprise people in the sense that he will not play nearly as much as some people seem to expect.

I think Robert Williams will surprise people in the sense that he will not play nearly as much as some people seem to expect.

I know, I know. He's got loads of talent and showed a nice passing touch in the SL, but he's still probably gonna be kind of raw. But I want him to be there already.

I think the one thing going for it is this is kind of an awkward not-rebuilding not-contending year, which makes it make more sense to give shakier talented guys a little more rope.
