Asking Celtics Fans a question concerning my All Time Celtics Roster.
A couple of years ago, I posted my All Time Celtics roster, and explained that while I’m not a Celtics Fan, I have written hundreds of all time NBA rosters, including one for very NBA team. You could find that post here.
Now that some time has past, so has the roster, leading me to another post.
Since my last post in 2023-24, I had Ray Allen as a backup shooting guard, over Jaylen Brown. Since Brown’s Finals MVP in 2024 however, i modified that, and removed Allen for Brown.
Today, I ask a similar question: Is Derrick White the better fit, and more deserving to be on this team, rather than Prime Celtics Rajon Rondo? For reference, here is the roster.
Point Guard. Bob Cousy
Shooting Guard. John Havlicek
Small Forward. Larry Bird
Power Forward. Kevin McHale
Center. Bill Russell
Bench.
Point Guard. Jojo White/Rajon Rondo
Shooting Guard. Jaylen Brown/Sam Jones
Small Forward. Paul Pierce/Jayson Tatum
Power Forward. Kevin Garnett/Tom Heinsohn
Center. Robert Parish/Dave Cowens
Coach. Red Auerbach
If I were to add Derrick White, he’d be in replacement of Rondo. I’m conflicted, but leaning toward keeping Rondo, and the roster the same. What do you guys think? Looking for advice of those who know these players the best.
