What are the most exciting battles in Boston Celtics training camp?
Which of the cadre of rising wing prospects will step up to the plate and earn a real rotation role, to start?
The Boston Celtics' 2026-27 NBA training camp promises to be filled with exciting battles as the team prepares for a new season following a significant offseason. One of the key questions is how the team will cope without star forward Jaylen Brown, who was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers by President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens. The Celtics will need to rely on their young talent to step up and fill the void left by Brown's departure.
Among the rising wing prospects, Hugo Gonzalez, Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh, and Ron Harper Jr. are all vying for a starting role in the rotation. The Celtics will be closely watching to see which of these young players can earn their spot on the court.
Another critical battle will be at the power forward position, with Neemias Queta and Mitchell Robinson vying for the starting role. Fans will be eagerly watching to see which of these two talented players will earn the starting nod and lead the team's frontcourt.
Finally, the Celtics will also be assessing the contributions of their 2026 draft picks. Will these young players see any real floor time with the team, or will they be relegated to the bench for the majority of the season? The answers to these questions will be crucial in determining the success of the Boston Celtics in the upcoming season.
