I was just looking at Boston roster and had a few thoughts.
First of all while they aren't going to je a contender they have some talent and could still be pretty good despite all the changes to the roster and Tatum being out. Pritchard has improved his game and Simon's will bring playmaking and scoring to the team if they don't unload him.
Speaking of guys that have improved their game Derrick While...so he is a very good high volume 3 point shooter now!? He is a wildly efficient very good defensive perimeter player. If the Celtics wanted to trade him I think they could probbaly name their price and it would be a lot. When White was dealt who would have thought he would become such a good shooter and efficient scorer? He was 27 at the time which is the age where usually guys are what they are. That was not the case for him. I'm not saying every guy past the age of 26 or whatever can get significantly better but it does happen.
Neemias Queta is a guy that is gonna get a shot to play a lot more this year and he might show something pretty good. He played some actual minutes last year and it looked like he did reasonably well. He is playing for Portugal this summer and already had a nice game. Watching highlights of him the passing stands out.
Xaiver Tillman is there too he probably gets some more minutes and will likely do well enough in them.
