There’s no such thing as a perfect roster — no matter how much talent you have littered throughout your fifteen available spots, there’s always a gap somewhere, whether that is positional, size, or specific skillset.
For the Boston Celtics, their biggest area of need right now is an additional center. Even when Daniel Theis was still on the roster, it was clear his skill set didn’t exactly fit the needs of Ime Udoka’s Celtics, and as such, always looked a likely potential casualty as Brad Stevens began Phase Two of his roster rebuild.
But now, with Theis heading to the Indiana Pacers in the deal for Malcolm Brogdon, Boston is in urgent need of an additional center, ideally one that can play a similar role to Robert Williams.
