It’s probably a little early for most of us to think 2023 NBA Draft, Never mind the summer free agency period you’ll follow in Boston Celtics, but you can bet the team’s front office is already rolling its eyes at some potential prospects to pursue supporting the team’s needs on the sidelines.
and the Celtics reception desk He’s not the only one in this regard, as some analysts are already starting to sniff out the pool of free agents Mike made sense for Boston to try and sign a deal this summer.
One such analyst is Bleacher Report’s Zack Buckley, who has three similar goals in mind for the Celtics – let’s take a look (and be sure to check out Article complete).

“Terrence Davis is ferocious on defense, ferocious on the open court, and accurate enough on three points (36.6% career),” Buckley wrote.
“If Boston thinks its system can coax him into a more credible production—or picture him playing a small enough role where his inconsistency won’t hurt him too much—he’ll be worth a contract release.”
Jalen McDaniels, Philadelphia 76ers (unrestricted)

“The Celtics have two of the best wingers in the league, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown,” the B/R analyst suggests. “Look beyond the stars, though, there’s not much to see in terms of players around size.”
“Napping Jalen McDaniels can help fill that void. Stealing him away from the Sixers might make the addition wiser.”

“Yuta Watanabe’s 6-foot-9 looks just right,” Buckley suggests. “He plays with boundless strength and energy.”
“He can switch to three different positions on defense – or more in the right game. He has some uncommon elements to his game and has only shot 40% plus from three for the second time in three seasons.”
