The Boston Celtics‘ starting five, consisting of All-NBA forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, star big man Kristaps Porzingis, and veteran guards Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, is garnering attention as one of the best in the league for the 2023-24 NBA season.
Tatum is showing MVP-level potential, White is proving to be an unexpected standout, and Holiday, although not yet at his peak, is a reliable playmaker and defender who is expected to improve his scoring as the season progresses. Despite the strong starting five, the bench has been underperforming, with the Celtics looking for players to step up.
The Celtics have a relatively favorable upcoming schedule, but the team’s success will hinge on player health and finding someone within the team to take on the sixth-man role effectively.
