The Boston Celtics still need bench scoring, and may need to bolster the frontcourt and guard rotation — here are six affordable candidates for those roles.

Another potential reunion of sorts, if there’s a better option to spell former Husky Kemba Walker, it’s the man who did exactly that in their march to the 2011 NCAA title.

While the Bronx native’s understudy hasn’t spread his wings like Walker has at the next level, he’s been a consistent, professional floor general who can light up defenses in the right systems.

Shooting 38.1 % from downtown with the Washington Wizards last season, Napier averaged 12 points and 4.4 assists per game with the Wiz while getting to the line a career-high 3.5 times per game.

With the ability to step into an occasional starter role for his former UConn alumnus when Walker needs a night off, there would be few better options out there who are also likely in the Celtics’ spending range.
