Assessing the strength of the Boston Celtics’ 2023-24 roster

In a recent discussion on “The Rich Eisen Show,” Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix offered insights into the Boston Celtics‘ outlook for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season after significant offseason moves to bring in star big man Kristaps Porzingis and All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday.

Boston’s roster, despite its strengths, has concerns the SI writer shines a light on, particularly focusing on the front line, which remains as potential weak spot, as do concerns over depth. Mannix praised the Celtics’ elite perimeter players, emphasizing the defensive capabilities of the new backcourt featuring Holiday and Derrick White. Mannix also predicted a standout season for All-NBA Boston forward Jayson Tatum, potentially making him a top MVP candidate, and mentioned Jaylen Brown’s potential to secure a first-team All-NBA spot.
