Queta slots into the Celtic big-man depth behind Tillman and others; his development affects Tillman’s ceiling by adding competition and potential for a defensive pairing. His progress could push Tillman into more defined roles if the Celtics seek more rim protection and mobility.

Queta is a rim-running big who needs to elevate his defense and rim protection to earn a larger role. His ceiling hinges on defensive consistency and screen-setting ability to complement the Celtics’ spacing and interior attack.

Queta’s development is a wild card; EuroBasket experience hints rim protection upside and occasional scoring, ideal as a late-dynasty add.
