The Boston Celtics will look very different at the center position without a versatile big that can stretch the floor. Upon trading backup Aron Baynes, the Celtics turned to Enes Kanter as their next signing, but the double-double threat isn't known for his shooting ability as former center Al Horford has been throughout his career.

Marcus Smart noted the Celtics will look very different without a floor-spacing big man, but he didn't under-appreciate the benefit of a rim-attacking center.

“It's different, for sure. It's definitely different,” said Smart after Friday's practice, according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps. “But we have enough guys that can shoot the three that get on the court. We just need our bigs to be able to do what they do. That's always been our problem. I love Al, but we sometimes need a threat at the rim with the big. In ways, it is different, but it also good in a certain way.”

Kanter is a walking double-double when given minutes and he's known for pounding the offensive glass, which should give the Celtics a very different dynamic.

At the same time, Boston is bound to suffer on the defensive end, likely relying more on team defense and weak-side schemes to keep big-time centers from abusing the 6-foot-11 center.

Kemba Walker should bring a very similar offensive arsenal as Kyrie Irving, but how the Celtics handle their new big man and the change in system should ultimately determine just how far they can go this upcoming season.
