Boston Celtics getting fresh faces at bottom of roster

The Celtics traded off important pieces and will be without their best player for the majority of next season, if not all of it.

Those paying attention to the Cs knew those trades were coming considering the basketball penalties of the second apron.

So, the Cs made big swings as theyre looking at a retooling season .

At the bottom of the roster, or the two-way guys, the Cs also brought in fresh faces.

The Celtics have had success developing guys into rotation players, so theres incentive to pay attention to those looking to make a mark on the league.

Sam Hauser, for example, went from undrafted, two-way forward to legit rotation contributor.

The Celtics signed two of their drafted rookies to two-way deals for next season in 46th pick Amari Williams and 57th pick Max Shulga.

Plus, as a bonus, they traded for wing RJ Luis from the Jazz as part of the Georges Niang deal.

So, those are three new faces in the organization as they start their pro careers.

Interestingly, the Cs wont have any returning names from last season at the two-way slots.

Guard JD Davison has been on a two-way contract the past three seasons.

But hes onto the Rockets as he couldnt sign another two-way deal with the Celtics due to NBA rules.

Miles Norris , signed last March, was also waived following the Luis trade.

All three of the new two-way guys will be rookies after coming over from the college ranks.

Theyre also all older as theyre either 23 or will turn 23 later this year, so that means extra experience.

Heres a look at the three new two-way players: RJ Luis Jr.

Luis spent the past two seasons with St.

Johns and Rick Pitino, but he started his college career at nearby UMass for one season.

Luis didnt play in Summer League with the Jazz due to injury.

He reportedly considered the Celtics as a potential two-way destination.

Luis excelled with the Red Storm, being named the Big East Player of the Year last season.

Luis brings good size at 6-foot-7, though hell need to improve as a shooter (career 31.4% 3-point shooter in college) to have a chance to stick in the league.

Max Shulga Shulga was another conference player of the year, doing so in the Atlanta 10 with VCU.

He was a five-year college player, and as a bonus, was teammates with Neemias Queta at Utah State.

Shulga shot well from 3 throughout college at 39.2%.

The guard didnt make a ton of mistakes in Summer League for the Celtics, but he didnt make much of an impact either.

Shulga didnt shoot the ball well in Vegas as he was given ball-handling responsibilities.

Amari Williams Williams also played five years in college with four at Drexel and his last season at Kentucky.

The big man showed off in Las Vegas what he can do as a passing big man as hell make nifty passes.

Hes listed at 7-foot and is at an intriguing spot on the roster due to the main clubs bigs situation.

The Celtics are thin up-front, so of the three two-way guys, Williams could end up seeing the court.
