Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris thinks that his team has the the most dangerous bench in the NBA, and he just might be right. Morris nicknames the bench personnel B.W.A., which stands for “Bench With Attitude”. The name is derived from N.W.A., a popular West Coast hip hop group. Morris, Terry Rozier, Marcus Smart and a few other talented reserves are primed to take the league my storm this season.

From Masslive.com:

“We're all veterans,” Morris said. “We are in a unique situation to be able to have as many guys as we have and for us to still do what we are supposed to do. I think that can change a lot of games once our second unit comes in because I don't care who they got on their team — there's no second unit that's better than ours from top to bottom.”

Each of the main members of this bench squad could be starters on a lot of other NBA teams. The starting lineup for the Celtics will feature at least three All-Star caliber players in Al Horford, Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are on the brink of stardom, so either one of them could have a breakout year.

Marcus Morris will make $5 million this year. This is a bargain considering his ability to score from all three levels and guard multiple positions. There's no telling how long Boston will be able to keep this potent group together. For now, they're a team with depth at every position. As one of the favorites in the East, everyone will be expecting them to make a deep playoff run this year. Their bench will be an important factor in this season's final result.
