NBA: Boston Celtics sign Canadian guard to help Pritchard, Brown and Tatum

The Boston Celtics are continuing to add new talent to their roster to help top players like Payton Pritchard, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum. They have added a Canadian player to the bench, which will give them more depth in that position.

The Boston Celtics are looking to have one of the most powerful bench rotations in the upcoming 2023-2024 season. So far, they have made the right moves by signing players who are on the same level as Pritchard, Brown, Tatum, and other top players.

However, the bench is only one part of the equation. The key for the Boston Celtics to make it back to the postseason is having a perfect match between their starters and bench depth during rotations.
