The Boston Celtics might have the best 1-2 punch of star wings of any team in the NBA, a point underlined by a recent ranking exercise of wings in the league by Bleacher Report that has Boston’s All-NBA forwards Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown Nos. 1 and 7 respectively in terms of wing stars.
The Celtics are also fairly capable in their frontcourt, with two of the league’s top 30 big men in Bleacher Report’s assessment of the league’s best bigs, but they are not quite so talented in the frontcourt as they are on the wing with both of their players coming in outside of the top 10 bigs in the Association coming into the league’s 2023-24 season.
Let’s take a look at which Boston bigs landed where.
