J3:26 PM PDT The Golden State Warriors have announced the team’s NBA2K24 Summer League 2023 schedule in Las Vegas (July 7-17). Includes all points, rebounds and steals stats. Griffin could be the odd man out of the bunch in regards to playing time but his energy and experience can definitely be used in spurts.Box score for the Golden State Warriors vs. Luke Kornet, Mike Muscala, and Blake Griffin all proved to be useful at various times. The more interesting situation will be to see out the big men are used. Let’s just hope they are staying engaged and seeing the court in more than just garbage time. One or both will no doubt be a hero at some point in the playoffs. Both Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser can warm up at a moment’s notice. There was even a brief stretch were it looked like he was playing himself out of the rotation but he has given Boston valuable minutes and should continue to do so.įrom there, it will be interesting to see how the bench rotation plays out. So valuable in last season’s playoffs, and off to a strong start this season, Williams had a dip in play the last six weeks. But the Celtics went 24-11 in those games and Williams, despite only averaging 8 points, brings an added (and needed) presence on the offensive end.Ĭhances are Grant Williams will also play a heavy hand in the bench rotation. Boston is so much better defensively when he is on the court, which only happened in 35 games this season. The importance of Williams can’t be stated enough. Want your voice heard? Join the Chowder And Champions team! Or, Derrick White, if Mazzulla goes against the lineup he was using for the most part down the stretch when both Williams and White were playing. Brogdon, off course, leads the brigade but right next to him is Robert Williams III. But by doing so, and contributing where they can, Boston will be better off.ĭeep as the Boston Celtics are, it’s also foreseeable head coach Joe Mazzulla only dips into three or four players seeing quality minutes on the court. Harnessing that type of “starter’s mentality” will be needed for a few of these players as the playoffs open. Multiple games in ’22-23 saw bench players earn starts and play well with 20+ minutes on the court, only to see them struggle over the next set of games. The depth of the Celtics roster provides this opportunity. Boston Celtics: Treasure trove of depthĪn ideal situation is Boston taking care of business with a quick first-round sweep of the Atlanta Hawks. A bench unit playing well means fresh legs for the starters for is hoped to be a deep playoff run. Rotations tend to tighten up during the playoffs but this depth can be especially useful in the first round of the playoffs. In 26 minutes per game, Brogdon also averaged 4.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists.īrogdon proved to be a leader of a bench that has no less than eight players who can provide valuable minutes, if called upon. In his first year with Boston, Brogdon shot 48 percent from the field and was second on the team in three-point percentage (44.4), trailing only Horford (44.6).Ĭeltics guard Malcolm Brogdon should win Sixth Man Award hands down. Brogdon finished third on the team in scoring (14.9 ppg), appearing in 67 games this season, all off the bench.Įfficiency and balance were the names of Brogdon’s game. That’s where Malcolm Brogdon entered the chat.īrogdon, the presumptive Sixth Man of the Year, expertly filled that role. While anyone from Al Horford to Grant Williams could be the third-highest scorer on any given night, no one was really doing that consistently. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were doing the bulk of the work (and still are) in the scoring department. The best acquisition by the Celtics last offseason turned out to be Boston’s greatest asset, in terms of adding quality depth.Ī consistent third-scoring option was desperately needed. Doing so will help alleviate the pressure from the starting five and the workload of a dynamic duo that was pretty special in 2022-23. This test is not a question of talent and experience but if their contributions can carry over into the playoffs. The real test of this depth begins on Saturday, when the Celtics open the playoffs against the Atlanta Hawks. BOSTON CELTICS ROSTER 2022 FULL
The roster, now healthy with a full compliment of players, is raring to go.
Their play has been one reason this year’s team has been set apart, and better, than successful Boston teams of recent seasons. Throughout much of the regular season, the highly-touted bench of the Boston Celtics roster has been a focal point.
