Which Celtics are you most excited to see play next season?

[Celtics18]

Here's my list, in order (order subject to change);

1.  Rondo--It's going to be an exciting transition.  I can't wait to see how he handles being this team's leader and star player.

2.  The Klynyk--He wasn't my first choice on draft day, but he won me over in summer league.  The kid's got skills.  He'll be fun to watch develop.

3.  Jeff Green--I expect at least 18 PPG next year out of our starting small forward.

4.  Sully--Heart, hustle, energy--what's not to love?

5.  Avery--Heart, hustle, energy--what's not to love?

6.  Vitor Faverani--I've done as much research as I can, but still have no idea if he can be an NBA big.  I hope he can.

7.  Marshon Brooks--I'm still rooting for JJJ to make his NBA comeback, but now that we've got the guy that many felt we should have had in the 2011 draft, I'd like to see what he's all about.  I still remember the Kobe Bryant lite comments.   

8.  Crash Wallace--I don't think he's completely washed up.  His style could fit well with this young team.

9,  Brandon Bass--I just like him.  He's a solid pro, who just goes about his job of being an NBA player.

10.  Courtney Lee--See above.

11.  Kris Humphries--He's athletic, and can rebound, and . . . I don't know . . . he's in a contract year.  Hopefully that will motivate him. 

12.  Phil Pressey--I don't know if he'll make it as an NBA player.  The kid's got a great career in Europe stamped all over him, but I'm rooting for him to stick as our back up point guard. 

13.  Keith Bogans--The 2013-2014 version of Keyon Dooling or Mickael Pietrus.  That's a compliment.

14.  Jordan Crawford--Hopefully I can grow to like him as a player.

i want to see how rondo does (both coming back from an injury and also now that he is supposed to be "the" guy.


i want to see if jeff green can step up his game, and do so consistently.

kelly O intrigues me the most. 

[86MaxwellSmart]

Jeff Green and Kelly O.

[action781]

1.  Olynyk - see how legit he is against real NBA pros.  I'm very hopeful.

2.  Rondo - see how he returns from injury and how he plays with a much weaker cast.  Will he bring it every night in the regular season?

I feel like we kind of know what we have in most of our other players.  I guess I'd like to see what Sullinger can do, but I just don't see him getting that many minutes with all of our PFs.

[KG_ended_Bias]

Reginald Buckner 6'9 shot blocker from Ole' Miss. The Celtics are quietly talking to him & trying to stop him from going to Italy & to tryout for the team. "He's my 1st cousin & I was ecstatic to hear the news from him & my aunt today so cool!" Hope Everything works out for him & the family back in Memphis.

What he said

[danglertx]

I just want it to start.  Training camp, summer leagues, pro am games, ANYTHING!  I need some basketball.

Outside of Jared Sullinger, it's all a side show as far as I'm concerned. When he's back to full strength, we're going to find out whether or not we have the next Carlos Boozer on our rebuilding team. He's the difference maker.

------------------------------


Marshon Brooks and Avery Bradley might make a jump, which would be exciting, but I think that they are what they are.

Jeff Green will always be fun to watch, but I also think he is what he is. Last season he was very good. This season he'll continue to play at the level of this past spring, but on a much worse team it won't be as pretty.

We have set ourselves up for disappointment with Olynyk. He's going to have a lot of cringe-worthy moments this year. This doesn't mean he'll be a bad player, but it means I'm not looking forward to watching his growing pains after seeing how beautiful he looked in college and summer league.

I'm sure the Klynyk will have some cringe worthy moments as he attempts to figure out how to cope with the pace, the physicality, and the grind of the NBA game, but I also think he'll have some shining moments along the way.

I'm looking forward to those. 

[Moranis]

Rondo and Sullinger since they are coming back from injury and not really anyone else.

[manl_lui]

Rondo, Sullinger, Bradley and Green are the four players I cannot WAIT to see play

Brooks and Wallace are the two players I want to see how they mesh with our guys and how they perform
