As a team in the early stages of a retooling process, the Boston Celtics are likely to take some flyers on players who have struggled elsewhere in the league. Brad Stevens has already added Luka Garza and Josh Minott to the rotation, both of whom were rooted to the end of Chris Finch’s rotation with the Minnesota Timberwolves last season.
Now, if reports are to be believed, the Celtics have checked in on Ben Simmons, who became an unrestricted free agent earlier this summer after leaving the Los Angeles Clippers. Simmons was once seen as a future MVP candidate due to his elite playmaking, rim finishing and defensive versatility. However, lower back issues have derailed his career.
In a recent video from the Cyro Asseo YouTube channel, the host shared his thoughts on Boston being among four teams to show interest in the former Rookie of the Year. Asseo also touched on how Simmons could fit with each roster before continuing to look at the overall picture.
