Romeo Langford seems to have been playing catch-up for quite a while. He was highly touted coming out of high school in Indiana, but didn't shoot the ball well as a Freshman and wasn't high on teams' lottery lists. Reportedly there were a lot of grains from the Celtics warm room on draft night after the Heat picked Tyler Herro one spot ahead of the Boston. Throughout the summer and Summer League we heard about how great Grant Williams, Carsen Edwards and Tacko Fall were going to be, while the injured Romeo became an afterthought.
Well now with the injuries to Gordon Haywards and Marcus Smart, Romeo has finally got a shot and the past two games have given Celtics fans some glimpses on why Ainge picked Langford #14.
