Who is the weakest link in the Boston Celtics’ starting five? With most teams around the NBA currently rounding into form if they are not already close to the team they will look like on opening night of the 2023-24 season, we can start to make some educated guesses about the players each team in the league will choose to start.
And with that baseline of a starting five, we can also project which player of those five likely starters will be the player being targeted as a defender, the player they will sag off of while guarding — or worse, both.
Host of the “Hardwood Knocks” podcast Dav Favale recently sat down to hash out who those players might be for the Celtics and the rest of the league next season.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear who he thinks Boston’s odd man out will be for their 2023-24 campaign.
