A flurry of summer additions has the Boston Celtics looking like champions-elect. Brad Stevens added Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to give Boston one of the strongest six-man rotations in the entire league.
The Celtics begin the 2023-24 season against the New York Knicks on October 25. Jordan Walsh is the only rookie on the roster. Having already impressed during Las Vegas Summer League, there’s a swell of excitement surrounding the defensive specialist.
Boston now has six elite talents in their rotation. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both enter the new season as All-NBA wings. Holiday is one of the best two-way guards in the world. Derrick White is a top-100 player, irrespective of what the latest rankings say. Al Horford and Porzingis are a dynamic big-man duo.
However, the Celtics also have significant talent on their bench. Let’s take a look at the team’s full roster, including coaching staff, for the upcoming season.
