I can kinda understand why Celtics fans are in panic mode. Have you looked at their depth chart on ESPN?

Current projected starting lineup:
PG: Derrick White
SG: Anfernee Simons
SF: Jaylen Brown
PF: Georges Niang
C: Luka Garza

As currently structured, he's going to get a lot more minutes. Wouldn't stun me if the Celtics made more moves or used this season as a way to get their Salary Cap improved, but with their current roster, they may not be able to get any rebounds at all.
They are going full tank next year.

It’s all subjective but I think Tinsley better production than Fred and Niang thus far.

Aziz is before my time but on stats seems like a good argument. Must have had some injuries because lots of seasons always with decent minutes but lots of partial year games played.

Grayer I barely saw play in nba (small markets but I saw a handful of his games) but his stats aren’t that different than Fred. Would be a fun thread to lay out career totals.
I remember reading an article about Aziz's career in the NBA. He was considered one of the first, if not the first, power forwards. He was good defensively and could get rebounds but one coach said he was ambidextrous because he couldn't shoot with either hand.
