The Celtics now have 18 partially fully guaranteed contracts on the team. Barring any 2 or 3 for 1 trades, at least 3 have to go and that leaves 5 players fighting for the final 2 spots on the team.
Which of the 5 get to stay?
John Holland - signed a 2 year 883,000 non guaranteed contract last season. Haven't seen much of him, even in Summer League. He's 6'5" with an NBA body and can play both SG and SF.
James Young - Entering his 2rd year with the Celtics hasn't shown much improvement and has yet to contribute anything meaningful to the team. Just doesn't seem to get it.
RJ Hunter - Hunter was drafted mostly for his shooting prowess but in his first season, he hit just 36% from the field and 30% from beyond the arc. He has shown some good instincts on defense and good decision making. He has good length but needs to put on some muscle since he gets pushed around a lot.
Ben Bentil - Bentil signed a 2.5 million 3 year contract but only 250,000 is guaranteed. He can hit the 3 and also is very physical inside. He can play the 4 or in small ball, the 5.
Demetrius Jackson - the 6'1" point guard signed a 5.474 million contract with the first year guaranteed at 1.45 million. He is strong, plays tough on both ends. He has good lateral quickness, is a good shooter, and tough defender. He's a bit rough but has a lot of potential. He was considered a mid 1st round pick and slipped to the Celtics in the second round. He could be a steal if he develops like most think he will.
