Entering the 2022 Draft, the Celtics were fresh off of a heart-breaking loss to the Golden State Warriors after the first Finals berth of the Jays era. Brad Stevens had just completed his first year as the President of Basketball Operations. Ime Udoka was still the head coach. Jrue Holiday was in Milwaukee, and Kristaps Porzingis was in Washington. The team didn’t have any first-round picks, but they did have a second-rounder - the 53rd pick in the draft. They selected a 19-year-old guard out of Alabama by the name of JD Davison.
