WATCH: What does the ideal Boston Celtics starting five look like this season?

Who should be on the court for tipoff on Game 1 of the 2021-22 NBA regular season for the Celtics?

As the Boston Celtics edge closer to the start of the 2021-22 NBA season, we get an increasingly clearer idea of who this team is and, more specifically, who will be on the floor with whom.

But what would this season’s Celtics ideal starting five look like? Which players make sense when the ball is tipped off — and will they be on the floor together to close the game as well? In years past, it has been easier to identify the five best players on the team, but this season it is not so easy.

To hear the perspectives of the hosts of the CLNS Media podcast “Celtics Beat,” check out the clip embedded below.

In it, Evan Valenti and Adam Kaufman along with guest Dan Greenberg of Barstool Sports debate the merits and negatives of a number of candidates for the starting job at their respective positions.
