Celtics Fans Impressed By Anton Watson Pick in 2nd Round of 2024 NBA Draft

The Boston Celtics have begun their title defense by selecting two NCAA standouts in the 2024 NBA Draft.

The Celtics followed up Wedneday's selection of Creighton's Baylor Scheierman by drafting Gonzaga forward Anton Watson.

Watson averaged 14.5 points and 1.5 steals per game as he developed into a two-way player during his senior season.

He could potentially provide scoring off the bench next season as the Celtics look to repeat as champions.
