Will The Celtics Be Better Defensively This Year?

Of the top 12

Gone: Avery Bradley, IT, Jae Crowder, Jonas Jerebko, Kelly Olynyk, Amir Johnson

New: Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving, Marcus Morris, Aron Baynes, Jayson Tatum, Daniel Theis

Still Here: Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Al Horford, Jaylen Brown


What do you think? We feel pretty confident we've upgraded our offense, what about our defense?

Better.

Gone are the 3 guard sets, extreme small ball. (Not so good)

Say hello to the 3 wing sets, ultimate small ball. (Good)

That alone may make the biggest improvement on defense.  No loss of size when switching.

Defense will be better. More length and still a very athletic team.

May give up more but we will score more too.  Think the over point differential will be bigger than last season.
