WATCH: When will the Boston Celtics' youth movement step up?

Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports

The Boston Celtics are a much deeper team than last season after loading up on veteran talent in the offseason. While they definitely needed to (and did) cull some of the less-promising players from the roster, they needed to make sure they had a plan to develop the young talent still with the team.

So far this season, new head coach Ime Udoka has been leaning heavily on the veterans. The younger players, save for Romeo Langford, mostly getting inconsistent — if any — playing time and little use has been made of the Maine Celtics at the G League level apart from two-way players Langford and center Bruno Caboclo.

Will the Celtics’ youth movement ever make the leap to solid rotation players or better? Do they have enough runway in place to do it? And what needs to change to maximize their potential for the team moving forward?

The hosts of the CLNS Media podcast “The Garden Report” explored this topic on their most recent podcast — watch the video embedded above to hear their take on this issue.
