With the 45th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics have selected Juhann Begarin.
Begarin is a 6’5’’ guard out France. He’s one of the youngest players in the 2021 draft pool, as he doesn’t turn 19 years old until August 7.
The expectation is that Boston will stash Begarin overseas for at least one season. This is a similar approach to the one the team took with 2020 second round pick Yam Madar. Madar will join the Celtics for 2021 Las Vegas Summer League and may be in play for a 2021-22 roster spot.
