Opportunity knocks for the Celtics young bench

The offseason seems to be winding down and the Celtics roster appears to be mostly in place. Good thing too, because games are coming right around the corner. I was pushing all of last year for some veteran bench depth. The Celtics finally went to the market and picked themselves up a center (Tristan Thompson) and backup point guard (Jeff Teague). Then again, those two essentially replace Enes Kanter and Brad Wanamaker in the rotation. Thompson’s role will be larger and Teague may need to fill more to accommodate Kemba Walker’s load management. So who replaces the minutes Gordon Hayward filled (when healthy)?
