The Boston Celtics have bolstered their frontcourt roster with the addition of former No. 36 pick Mitchell Robinson. Neemias Queta, the starting center for the Celtics, has expressed his excitement about co-existing with Robinson. Queta signed a lucrative four-year, $56 million contract extension this past season and was instrumental in the Celtics' success.
However, his role and minutes against Robinson remain uncertain. Queta told Celtics on CLNS, "I’m not too worried about that. That’s a Joe (Mazzulla) to figure out." He welcomed Robinson as a new teammate, stating, "I’m extremely happy I don’t have to go against him anymore because he used to get all these rebounds." Queta praised Robinson's versatility, claiming, "One of the best rebounders the league has ever seen."
This offseason, Queta focused on improving his all-around game, becoming more versatile offensively and defensively.
