5 Celtics ranked in Bleacher Reports’ new top-100 NBA players list

Five Boston Celtics are ranked in Bleacher Reports new 2019-20 top-100 NBA players list.

The Boston Celtics find themselves very well-represented in Bleacher Report’s new 2019-20 top-100 NBA players list, with five players and four starters making the cut in the eyes of analysts Andy Bailey and Dan Favale.

While these sorts of ranking usually have a boatload of unacknowledged bias baked in whether the rankings are to your liking or not, the Bleacher Report duo lan heavily on evidence-based arguments throughout, which can at times create for some surprising juxtapositions we’ll get to later.

But also, Favale and Bailey arrive some very favorable assessments of Boston’s roster, with only starting center Daniel Theis on the outside of the top 100 players in the league as far as this pair is concerned.

So, who made the cut from the Celtics, and where are they ranked?
