The Boston Celtics have too many point guards. What’s more most of their guards are good enough that they would almost certainly start on about half the teams in the NBA. Plus with Markelle Fultz the consensus #1 Draft pick and Boston holding the top spot in the draft the Celtics will likely be adding another highly capable point guard this summer.
Demetrius Jackson came to a team that was already over-stuffed at the point guard position and next year D-Jax looks to fall further behind in Boston’s depth chart. Boston already has an undersized point guard as their main offensive weapon in Isaiah Thomas, meanwhile Marcus Smart might be billed as a ‘combo-guard’ but he would likely be a starting point guard on several other teams in the league, and Terry Rozier effectively acts as the backup point guard but he has already shown he could handle even more responsibility if given more time on the court to develop.
