Is this the year one of the Celtics young wings finally breaks through? We’re talking Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman, Josh Minott and Hugo Gonzalez as John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com joins the show to break down who has the best shot at cracking the rotation and earning real trust from Joe Mazzulla.

Then we react to ESPN dropping the Celtics from number two to thirteen in their Future Power Rankings. Is that a fair take on the team’s direction or just an overreaction to the Tatum injury and offseason changes?

We wrap with a Central Division preview focused on the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons. Can Josh Giddey lead Chicago’s backcourt and is Cade Cunningham ready to take the leap in Detroit?

All that and more on Hold My Banner with George Balekji and Ountae Campbell featuring John Karalis.
