Ranking season may be over when the month of December arrives in the NBA calendar, but league analysts will continue to update their player rankings for where the Boston Celtics and the rest of the league stand so far in the 2023-24 season.

Such is the case with Bleacher Report’s Adam Fromal, who presented us with a comprehensive re-ranking of his top 50 NBA players for the 2023-24 season based on the Rolling Player Rating (RPR) MVP score (see his methodology section in the original article for more details) after a full month and change to evaluate where players are early in their current season.

A handful of Celtics made the cut, including a surprising inversion of two Boston starters from the start of the season; let’s take a look at where everyone ended up.

No. 49. Jrue Holiday

B/R Staff Preseason Ranking: No. 37

B/R Community Preseason Ranking: No. 42

“Holiday has taken more of a tertiary role than the one he filled with the Milwaukee Bucks over the last three seasons, but the new Boston Celtics point guard has still played high-quality basketball for the ever-dangerous Cs,” Fromal writes in a press release.

No. 31. Jaylen Brown

B/R Staff Preseason Ranking: No. 19

B/R Community Preseason Ranking: No. 17

“Brown has produced performances that back up his preseason rankings and prove he was worth the $304 million contract deal he inked… But he’s also had a few bad games, and his “inability to dial things back has sometimes dragged the team down,” according to the B/R analyst.

No. 26. Kristaps Porzingis

B/R Staff Preseason Ranking: No. 43

B/R Community Preseason Ranking: No. 49

“If it hadn’t been for the calf injury that kept him out of the lineup against the Orlando Magic… Porzingis would be pounding on the top 20’s door even harder. “The 7-footer has performed admirably in his first season with the Boston Celtics, blending in seamlessly alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown,” says Fromal.

No. 7. Jayson Tatum

B/R Staff Preseason Ranking: No. 5

B/R Community Preseason Ranking: No. 5

“Even though Jayson Tatum already has a high place in the individual hierarchy, the best is yet to come.” “The Duke (alum) has struggled with turnovers, and he’s lost some of the basket-attacking aggression that helped him earn 8.4 trips to the free-throw line last year,” writes the B/R expert.
