"I will always respect Chris Boucher for what he gave to the Toronto Raptors. He was never the most pretty or polished guy to watch suit up on an NBA court, but Boucher's hustle and grit had to earn your respect somehow (at least during some point in his iconic Raptors tenure). For some, news of his departure from Toronto this past offseason was a sobering reminder that the final chapter of Raptors history had come to an end."
"seeing as they were largely depleted at the forward and center spots (in light of Jayson Tatum's absence and losing Luke Kornet and Al Horford). Many of the Celtics' other options consisted of inexperienced, unproven young players like Josh Minott, Luka Garza, and Jordan Walsh. While I believed those players could also develop and break out this year, Boucher offered the struggling Celtics a championship-tested, energetic forward with valuable experience."
Chris Boucher spent nearly his entire NBA career with the Toronto Raptors, besides a short rookie stint in Golden State. He signed a one-year, veteran's minimum deal with the Boston Celtics in August. The Celtics entered the season thin at forward and center due to Jayson Tatum's absence and the departures of Luke Kornet and Al Horford. Expected alternatives included young, unproven players such as Josh Minott, Luka Garza, and Jordan Walsh. Boucher became the third-string power forward behind Minott and Walsh, appearing in eight games and averaging 11.4 minutes, 2.3 points, 31.8% FG, 8.3% 3PT, and 2.2 rebounds, making it difficult to register a notable impact.
