The Boston Celtics are entering a transition period as they navigate roster changes following the offseason. The team acquired Luka Garza and Josh Minott, both previously associated with the Minnesota Timberwolves, aiming to tap into their untapped potential. Despite previous limited roles, both players are expected to have a more significant impact with the Celtics, especially with Jayson Tatum sidelined due to injury. Celtics president Brad Stevens expressed confidence in their ability to excel in Boston, suggesting that Garza's impressive per-36 minute statistics could translate into a valuable asset for the team.

Garza's and Minott's roles could evolve significantly, with Garza potentially stepping in as a starting center. Minott, known for his versatility and energy, may become a crowd favorite as he provides much-needed depth on the wing. The Celtics are looking for these players to not only support their core but also bring realization of their potential as part of a retooled roster.
