Boston Celtics: 4 Cs takeaways from the 2020 NBA draft

Takeaway No. 4) The C’s center rotation STILL needs bolstering

Frankly, the face Daniel Theis is making in the picture above strongly resembled mine when the Boston Celtics went about going the entirety of the first-round without addressing their weakest spot within the rotation: the center slot.

No, this is not me saying I disapprove of Aaron Nesmith or Payton Pritchard being taken where they were. Though the Houdini may have gone about the draft a bit differently, in the end, the talent that Boston brought in is quite solid.

That said, now with draft night over the team still has just as many questions pertaining to their center rotation as they did coming in.

In fact, it’s arguable that they have even MORE.

Easily the biggest question residing within the minds of Celtics fans is, simply, “what’s next?”

Are they content with their current crop residing at the pivot?

Do they have a plan to pursue specific big men free agents?

Is there a potential trade on the horizon that would explain why they opted to pass on several intriguing rookie center prospects?

Whatever the case may be, now that the draft has come and gone, it’s apparent that the C’s center rotation STILL needs bolstering.
