The Boston Celtics made it clear that they have a place for Jordan Mickey in their future when they gave him the biggest contract a second round draft pick has ever received. It’s incredibly rare that a second round draft pick will come in and have an impact as a rookie and with the depth the Celtics have it is no surprise that Mickey has been spending the majority of his time in the D League.
Jared Sullinger has stepped up for the Celtics, Kelly Olynyk is having his best year, Amir Johnson is contributing on both ends, Jonas Jerebko is finally shooting well and even Tyler Zeller is becoming effective.
