Poll: How many games would the Celtics' bench unit win in a full season?

[Moranis]

less than 20.  no reliable scoring at all and only really 2 guys that might break 20 on a given night in Rozier and Morris. 

D would probably be pretty decent for the most part but if either Bird or Lemon is a starting SG, you're team is toast.

Rozier and Smart would be the starting backcourt.

What would a team like this win?

Jeff Teague
Ricky Rubio
Wilson Chandler
Gorgui Dieng
Zaza Pachulia

Mike Scott
Langston Galloway
Ed Davis
Quincy Acy
Shelvin Mack

Just wondering, because that's basically our bench, except many of our guys are still young in development and can develop past their anti-type.

One simple tweak and the scoring will be fine. Have Danny call Big3's Ghost Ballers, and try to sign Ricky "Buckets" Davis.

Ricky (talking to reporters): I worked hard and got a double double tonight.
Coach Stevens (ease dropping on interview): Hey Ricky, you helped us out with your 15 points, but how did you miss so many bunnies?
Ricky: I needed to get my rebounding numbers up to get my double double.
Coach Stevens: You have to be kidding me. Why not go for the triple double and pass.
Ricky: Ricky ain't passin. Ricky's paid to get buckets.

OMG, please let this happen. The comedy factor was off the charts when he played.

 11 or 12 games.

[KungPoweChicken]

Fewer than 10 wins.

I think you’re forgetting how hard it is to lose 70+ games in a season.

Look at some of the rosters of teams who have won 20 games, they’re atrocious.

70 losses is a special kind of bad.

[mr. dee]

30-40 wins

Rozier is capable of exploding 30-40 pts on any given night and their defense is very good to at least win 20+ games.

[Birdman]

Just waive Rodney Purvis so that would hurt 😜

[SHAQATTACK]

10-16 gamea

their backups would be worse if they were the best .

that would be very very ugly indeed .

I would say CBS would never say die , that alone is 10 wins

[More Banners]

So for your 3 guards, 2 are guys that just battled in the ECF. Start Rozier and Smart.

Your 3-4 bigs are Baynes, Morris, the German dude, and then the 4h guy. Journeymen, but competent.

Semi is really it at SF though.

40 wins and an 8th seed. Jim O'Brien or CBS could take them to the ECF! 



And to answer the other question in the OP:  deep, deep green, through and through.  Silly question.

[jambr380]

I went with less than 20. There is a reason why they are bench players.

I guess, but 4 of them are potentially realistic starters. Rozier hasn't been a non-injury starter yet, but he will probably get his chance with another team in 2019-20.

The starters are a little underwhelming, but the bench is the real issue with this group. If that team was able to sign a few cheap veterans, I might edge towards 30 wins. I will say this group, without any signings, should get in the 21-25 range. Don't underrate the toughness of this group to grind out some tough wins.

[rondofan1255]

15 wins (and I feel like that’s generous)

[hwangjini_1]

2011 charlotte went 7-59, the worst winning percentage (.106) ever by an NBA team.

the celtics bench looks better than this team:

Really? Teams lose on purpose and struggle to get down to 15.

Look at that team with IT that first year. They were a mess and were still a force. Kinda.

These guys could be one of those groups that pulls together tight:  the TR/MS/Bird guard unit and MM/MB/Theis bigs unit would get the minutes at 1-2 and 4-5 respectively, splitting the 96, and that ain't bad.

one would think but that wasn't what the OP proposed
