Each NBA offseason, the news cycle tends to dry up as the month of September approaches, with the league’s analysts turning to projecting the order of the league, its players, and even the internal rosters themselves in the yearly exercise we call Ranking Season.
And in just such an exercise, Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley revealed his own power ranking of the players on the roster of the new-look Boston Celtics after Boston’s front office elected to shake things up in a big way to kick off the summer. In this power ranking analysis, the 14 players on regular NBA contracts are evaluated based on their abilities, projected production, and overall value to the team.
Let’s see where Buckley rates each member of the team vs. their peers — but you’ll have to check his analysis for the thinking behind them.
