6. Boston Celtics

Projected Starting Five: Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, Amir Johnson, Al Horford 

Despite his small stature, Isaiah Thomas continues to develop into one of the NBA’s most intriguing point guards. Avery Bradley, as he continues to polish his jump shot, is one of the league’s best wing defenders and Jae Crowder is one of those guys that just brings it all together.

Amir Johnson, despite not being the most talented player in the NBA, found a nice role as the Celtics’ lead big man last season.

The addition of Al Horford will do wonders for this team, and he’s easily one of the best power forwards in the game. He can do it all from distributing to hitting threes.
