The Boston Celtics have one of the best young duos in the NBA in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
This offseason the roster has changed vastly with a number of new faces to complement the budding stars.
NBA 2K22’s release is right around the corner which means it’s time to predict ratings. Let’s see what the Boston Celtics will look like on launch day.
The most popular basketball video game franchise, NBA 2K, has its newest title NBA 2K22 set to release on September 10th.
Ratings have begun to drop for the league’s top players, including the Celtics own Jayson Tatum, who will open the year with a 90 overall rating.
Newly acquired Dennis Schroder’s rating was also released as he was named the top German player in the game with a 79 overall.
We are yet to see any other ratings for the Celtics, which is why today we will be taking that responsibility into our own hands.
Using the base ratings each player ended the season with in NBA 2K21 and predicting the leaps and bounds each player has made or could be made when the NBA season comes around, let’s predict the start and end ratings for each Green-Teamer.

<h2>Reasons for Boston Celtics player rating movement</h2>
<p>Brad Stevens did his best to add experience and versatility to this roster while locking up Marcus Smart and Robert Williams for the foreseeable future to put alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.</p>
<p>We saw Tatum and Brown rank as one of the best scoring duos in a season that was filled with ups and downs and not a lot of consistency out on the floor together.</p>
<p>Expect Tatum to make the full superstar leap this season. Just his scoring alone puts him in the upper half of the league, this year will be about coming a more complete player on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p>Jaylen Brown has improved every single season, and this upcoming one will be no different. An all-star appearance should be the bare minimum this season for Brown as he looks to make an even bigger name for himself.</p>
<p>Second-year players Aaron Nesmith and Payton Pritchard should certainly make a sizeable jump based on the more defined roles they will play for the Celtics this season.</p>
<p>As for the rest of the roster, it is all about opportunity. A healthy Marcus Smart should certainly see his rating increase as the full-time starting point guard along with Robert Williams who has solidified himself as a core piece of this roster.</p>
<p>Al Horford could either prove to have a lot left in the tank like many think he does, or his age could catch up to him.</p>
<p>Josh Richardson and Dennis Schroder will certainly be featured enough to showcase their talents and help this team contribute, especially Schroder, who looks to find himself in a sixth-man role for this group, something he will strive in.</p>
<p>The Celtics will be a fun team to watch and a fun one to play with on the sticks if all goes according to plan this season.</p>
