Shane Larkin, Celtics Reportedly Agree to Contract

Shane Larkin and the Boston Celtics reportedly agreed to terms Thursday on a contract for next season, according to international hoops scribe David Pick.

MassLive.com's Jay King confirmed the report and added Larkin's contract for the 2017-18 campaign will be fully guaranteed. 

Larkin, 24, was selected 18th overall in the 2013 NBA draft and spent the first three seasons of his career with the Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. 

Last year, Larkin made a trip overseas and suited up for Saski Baskonia in Spain. 

In his lone season abroad, Larkin averaged 14.1 points, 4.9 assists and 1.4 steals on 52.5 percent shooting from inside the arc and 31.3 percent shooting from distance during Liga ACB play. 

Those numbers represented an improvement from Larkin's first go in the NBA, when he averaged 5.8 points, 3.2 dimes and 1.1 steals on 43.0 percent shooting from the field over the course of 202 appearances. 

With the Celtics, Larkin should be a safety net on the back of the bench.

As things stand, Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Smart are penciled in as the Celtics' top point guards, with Terry Rozier likely to work his way into the playmaking mix on a regular basis.
