What can we say about the quality of play that we have seen from the Boston Celtics’ bench players so far in the NBA’s 2023-24 season? The expectations surrounding the Celtics’ bench was optimistic before the season began, but based on early returns from the team’s quarter-mark of their current campaign, the reality seems to have fallen short of those projections.
Two of the team’s better players on the bench have been veteran big man Al Horford and reserve forward Sam Hauser, and on some nights backup point guard Payton Pritchard has shown some promise. But other than that trio of Celtics reserves, there has been very little for Boston to point to off the bench.
While there are bright spots in the Celtics’ bench performance, the overall level of play instills a certain level of disappointment. Will Boston make changes ahead of the 2024 trade deadline?
