Boston, Massachusetts Numerous new players, including some well-known ones, helped the Boston Celtics polish its roster, but there is still room for several more roster members to succeed.
Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis, as well as Al Horford, Derrick White, and Jrue Holiday, are the Celtics’ go-to players, according to head coach Joe Mazzulla. The opportunity to establish oneself as leaders is then up for grabs for the reserve unit members.
Following that, the following are the four Celtics players that will have the greatest opportunity on Opening Night on October 25
Toby Pritchard
Payton Pritchard’s previous season was everything from straightforward.
The tenacious small guard, who stands at 6-foot-1, has built a living by defying the odds in front of him. However, even that didn’t prevent Pritchard from filling a void as a backup outside shooter in the early stages of his career.
However, Boston’s decision to start the affluent three of Smart, White, and Brogdon ahead of Pritchard caused that development to take a detour, forcing the Oregon product to scramble for playing time throughout the season.
With Brogdon and Smart gone and few sure things on Boston’s bench, Pritchard’s opportunity to establish himself is once again open.
