The Boston Celtics entered Thursday tied for 28th in total rebound rate. Some fans have jokingly wondered if their size-deprived team should fetch its 2016 first-round pick, Ante Zizic, from overseas before this season ends.
While it's unlikely that the 20-year-old big man from Croatia will cross the pond this season, he might be ready to join the Celtics in 2017-18. In fact, Zizic recently told Bugra Uzar of Eurohoops.net that he is "99 percent sure" of the upcoming move in an interview with the official global media partner of the EuroLeague.
