The Boston Celtics elected to go for depth over star power in their backcourt rotation for the 2022-23 NBA season, eschewing investing in megastars at the 1 and 2 to save cap space for their stars on the wing, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
But that does not make the Celtics’ backcourt bad simply because no one player stands out among the top 20 or so players in the league. Instead, the front office assembled a mix of very good players who have different skills to add to the toolkit Boston can bring to bear.
Where do the Celtics stack up against the best backcourts in the NBA?
The hosts of the “Thinking Basketball” podcast explored this question on a recent episode; take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about it!
