Boston Celtics rate out with 8 players in The Athletic’s annual NBA tiers project

The Boston Celtics have rated out as a team with a total of EIGHT currently rostered players ranked among The Athletic’s Seth Partnow’s annual NBA tiers project that puts an order of sorts to the (in his careful estimation) top 125 players in the league in a given season.

And while you will have to get yourself a subscription to that particular publication to see Partnow’s rationalizations for each of the Celtics’ eight players assessed by the Athletic expert to be among the Association’s elite, we put together the players in question along with the tiers they have landed in ahead of the 2022-22 season.

So, without further ado, this is how Boston’s best players stacked up against the rest of the NBA in Partnow’s view.
