Potential replacement for Brad Wanamaker No. 4) Jeff Teague
Last but not least we see the likes of former All-Star, Jeff Teague, taking the final spot on our list of potential replacements for Brad Wanamaker within the Boston Celtics rotation come 2020-21.
Despite making it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals this past year, their postseason run exposed the lack of depth on the C’s roster. One of the most concerning problems was that it was evident that there was no real quality help in the backcourt to let starter Kemba Walker get much-needed rest.
Should they wish to add on a player with ample postseason experience and success playing the position in the NBA, Boston may not want to look much further than Teague.
Still a productive player in the league, during the 2019-20 season he averaged 10.9 points, 5.2 assists, and just shy of a steal per game on 46 percent shooting from the field and 37 percent shooting from deep.
Though no longer the All-Star he once was, the veteran has made a name for himself as a player who can create for his own on offense as well as for others via his playmaking skills and has proven capable of successfully taking command of an offense.
Adding him to this Boston Celtics squad for next season would provide them with a fantastic second unit primary ball-handler who, if asked, has shown to still have the capability of stepping into a starting role and producing admirably — averaged 12.5 points, 7.5 assists, and a steal per game on 38 percent shooting from deep in 17 starts last year.
