Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens talk about roster depth, training camp competition (w/ video)
From the Celtics' official YouTube channel:
In all honesty, 10-deep doesn't cut it. The Celtics have 11 guys worthy of playing time before even getting into the rookie/newbie tier of James Young, Perry Jones, Terry Rozier, R.J. Hunter and Jordan Mickey. All of them will fight hard for minutes as well, not to mention the fact that barring another move, somebody won't make the roster altogether.
Hunger Games is right.

Brad Stevens on how he'll handle C's depth: "The 1 thing I'm not going to do is predetermine anything. I'm going to let it shake itself out"
