Coming off the drama of Wednesday night, the Boston Celtics spent draft night adding more and more draft capital while selecting a potential rotational player in the second round.
And for the third time in the Brad Stevens’ era, the Boston Celtics selected a prospect from the NBA Draft. Since being promoted from head coach into the front office, Stevens has dealt the franchises’ first-round picks in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Those deals provided Derrick White, Malcolm Brogdon, and Al Horford, all key contributors to this team. Arkansas’ 19-year-old forward Jordan Walsh makes a whole lot of sense with the focus next season being guarding the opposition at a much higher level.
