The Boston Celtics are coming off a great season in which their youngsters Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown took power for the at the conference finals. The future seems to lie with the Celtics, who have a young squad, with a few other promising elements like interiors Robert Williams and Grant Williams.
“I have the feeling that there are a lot of unknowns concerning our team, because a lot of players on our bench did not have any opportunities. We saw Grant finish strong with a few minutes. Robert has finished the season well. Enes (Kanter) gave us a boost many times during the season. Daniel Theis has been huge this year. I think we have a lot to learn from each of these players and from our team. ” Ainge
Robert Williams, undermined by injuries since his arrival in the league, made some very good passes in the bubble thanks to his presence near the circle, threat on lobed passes and the great potential of circle protector. As for Grant, if he showed limits at the start of the season, in great difficulty with his shoot, but also problems to defend in the perimeter, he has progressed enormously during the season and gained a few minutes during the playoffs, in particular in important moments. Both could have a big role in the rotation as early as next season if they confirm.
“Robert was often injured in his second season, which unfortunately limited his development. I have the impression that he is coming back healthy, we have found the time spent in the bubble crucial for him. He was with the coaches, there were few distractions and he really improved. I thought he played really well in a lot of games. So yes, we are excited about Robert’s future and what he can become. ” Ainge
And Carsen Edwards and Tremont Waters played little, because too tender and probably not at the level, for Romeo Langford its low number of matches is mainly due to injuries. He was still able to play 32 games for 370 minutes, the time to also show promising insights. A good defender, he could become an interesting slasher. He was operated on for the scapholunar ligament on his right wrist at the end of September and Danny Ainge is counting on him for the future, why not next season.
We knew Romey wouldn’t be making the summer league and couldn’t prepare for the summer due to his hand and thumb surgery. We knew there would be a bit of a delay, but he showed some really positive signs in a low sample in the NBA, but also in training and in a few G-League games. We think he has a bright future. We’ll see how the offseason goes, and then we don’t even know when the season starts, so we’re going to do the best we can so that he can be back as soon as possible, that he’s as strong as possible and in. in the best physical condition, ready to play. ” Ainge
