Factoring in full health, after all the trades, free agency, and what we’ve seen so far in Summer League, are the Celtics better now than they were last season?
Michael Pearce: Boston improved on defense with the Josh Richardson, Kris Dunn and Al Horford acquisitions, and they already had the firepower to be a good offensive team with Tatum and Brown. With the improvements on defense, the Celtics are better than last year in my opinion. Less star power, but more well-rounded and deep defensively, which is what they needed.
Andrew Doxy: Boston’s roster has more reliable and experience talent from spots 1 through 15 right now, so I’m inclined to say that at full health, the Celtics will be much better than they finished last season.
