This past season has to be considered a rousing success for the Celtics.
For a team that was the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, and for a team that came upshort against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the future is certainly looking bright for Boston. He started 26 games and averaged 12.9 points and 5.3 rebounds.
There was no late-night workout in New York City between the Boston Celtics and Josh Jackson. His seven rebounds and two assists per game paint the picture of a player capable of contributing in a number of different ways.
The Boston Celtics are a team that has been mentioned in plenty of National Basketball Association rumors lately. Marcus Smart and Kelly Olynyk were consistent contributors. "Jaylen Brown gives you defense, Jayson Tatum gives you instant offense".

However, New Orleans traded that pick to IN for cash and the Pacers got Xavier guard Edmond Sumner. It just depends on how much they are willing to sacrifice for George. All kinds of players are coming out of this draft, but a do-it-all point guard like Fultz is hard to come by. Reports have surfaced that the Celtics really like Jackson but Tatum would presumably be the better fit there. However, they do have some issue along the frontcourt.
