​Earlier this offseason, the Boston Celtics signed NBA champion Mitchell Robinson to a three-year contract in free agency, helping to solidify the team’s front court.But big man Neemias Queta also got a new contract, raising questions about which post player would earn the starting lineup for head coach Joe Mazzulla. Well, according to Celtics Insider Keith Smith of Spotrac, Queta is expected to remain the team’s starting center, citing Robinson’s familiarity coming off the bench as a positive.Here’s more of what you need to know:About RobinsonThe 28-year-old Florida native is an eight-year veteran of the Knicks, where he blossomed into a very solid player. He appeared in 60 games this past season, starting 16 of them. He averaged 5.7 ppg in just over 19 minutes, finishing eighth in the Sixth Man of the Year voting.He played in all 18 Knicks playoff games, averaging 4.8 ppg as the Knicks won the title against the San Antonio Spurs.While his points per game are not particularly high, Robinson is an elite rebounder (8.8 per game). He should help the Celtics create more second-chance opportunities, which should help diversify the offense and create more easy scoring chances.About QuetaAn unbelievable success for the player development department, Queta played in 76 games this past season, averaging 10.2 ppg and 8.4 rebounds. A 7-footer, he’s certainly capable of scoring a bit and aiding in rebounding and defensive efforts. That’s something that we know is important to Brad Stevens, who wants to see the C’s get more balanced.Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (88) warms up before game seven of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden. Winslow Townson-Imagn ImagesOn that pointBoston was one of the most three-point dependent teams in the NBA last season, and it ended up being their undoing in the first round of the playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers, where they lost in seven games.Stevens has implied that he wants the team to be more balanced moving forward, and the increased production from Queta and Robinson should help on that front. In Robinson’s case in particular, his offensive rebounding prowess should help create those easy bucket chances.Another question The Celtics drafted big man Chris Cenac Jr. in the first round (No. 27) of the NBA Draft this year out of Houston. Cenac was impressive in the Las Vegas Summer League, but with Robinson and Queta in the fold, there are questions as to how much time will really be available for the rookie.
