The Boston Celtics have elite wing depth, but after opening night, Joe Mazzulla faces a tough crunch trying to keep everyone in a rhythm.
Writer Ben Handler argues that the Boston Celtics' extensive wing depth presents a significant rotational dilemma for head coach Joe Mazzulla. Despite trading Jaylen Brown, the addition of Paul George—who played 30 minutes on opening night—means playing time remains tightly contested among Boston's perimeter players.
Handler highlights that young wings Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman, and Hugo Gonzalez saw limited minutes in the opener, while Ron Harper Jr. did not play. The author suggests that an 11-man rotation makes it difficult for players to establish a rhythm and argues Mazzulla will eventually need to make difficult lineup cuts.
