Taking stock at mid-season: the Celtics’ veteran grades so far

With the midpoint of the 2019-20 NBA season in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to take stock of what the Boston Celtics’ veterans have done so far.

Putting it all together

The “back nine” of the NBA season is upon us, and we may see some movement to the depths of the rotation, and possibly even involving a heavy-minute veteran.

But from the looks of the trade landscape, it’s more likely a small move or none for this roster, meaning continuity for a chemistry-reliant outfit will (hopefully) remain intact.

That there are no glaringly useless players among the veterans and that they all still seem to be on an upward trajectory despite Hayward and Walker being older than their teammates is promising, even in context.

Postseason success will depend mightily on health and growth from the Jays, and what we’ve seen so far has been a promising half-season where both have been positive for the most part.

Let’s hope it continues.
