How much can we expect from the Boston Celtics rookies next season? The Celtics made a departure from the usual sort of prospect they have been taking in recent years, eschewing the kind of player who is ready to play now as a depth piece for a team with designs on contention. Instead, Boston President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens and company went with a pair of big swings with hyperathletic, young players who had a rough stint in college to be available where the Celtics selected.
We of course mean big man Chris Cenac Jr. (taken No. 27 overall) and forward Dillon Mitchell (taken No. 40 overall). What is fair to expect from such raw prospects in their first season in the NBA? The hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with Motor
City Hoops analyst Bryce Simon to talk it over on a recent episode.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about whether either – or both – of these rookies might be playing meaningful minutes with Boston this season.
