Brad Wanamaker went un-drafted out of the University of Pittsburgh in the 2011 NBA Draft. Despite a great college career, the guard spent six seasons playing in Euro-Leagues before the Boston Celtics signed him to a one year contract in 2018; making him the oldest rookie in the NBA at twenty-nine years young.
Wanamaker earned a bunch of accolades during his time in Europe, including multiple league MVP awards. He also managed to win a championship in the Turkish League in 2018, and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. His level of play in the 2017-2018 seasons helped contribute to the Celtics wanting to obtain his services.
