Neemias Queta could push into Boston's starting five at center in 2025-26 as Horford departs and Kornet signs elsewhere. Porzingis’ praise after Queta’s EuroBasket showing—16 points, 7 rebounds in 19 minutes—signals trust and a real path to more minutes if Queta earns the job.

Luka Garza is another contender for minutes, and Porzingis’ remarks hint Queta remains the favorite. Boston’s depth chart drama suggests a fantasy sleeper, with Queta’s per-minute upside rising if he lands the opening role, especially in dynasty formats where long-term value matters.

Queta’s trajectory aligns with a Celtics’ push to develop youth while balancing experience. For fantasy managers, he’s a late-round lottery ticket with breakout potential if handed a starting workload, potentially elevating his DFS and roto value in the early season.
