The Celtics depth for this upcoming season is far better than the depth that they had last season. Although the Celtics lost their "sixth man" in Evan Turner to Portland and their best rebounder in Jared Sullinger to Toronto, they rebuilt their bench by drafting forward Jaylen Brown and signing athletic guard Gerald Green. The Celtics also signed one of the biggest free agents in Al Horford who spent his entire 10-year NBA career in Atlanta. Other players that the Celtics drafted include Guerschon Yabusele from France and Ante Zizic from Croatia. The Celtics second round picks include Demetrius Jackson, Ben Bentil, and Abdel Nadar. The rest of the Celtics roster has returned to continue to chase an NBA Championship.
