16. Boston Celtics

Pick: Guerschon Yabusele, F, France 

Draft and stash.

Since the Boston Celtics have like 1 million draft picks, selecting draft and stash prospects was bound to happen. You know, unless they were planning on fielding a JV team next season. Since that’s not allowed per the NBA – I think – the Celtics settled with selecting Guerschon Yabusele out of France with the 16th pick.

Yabusele is a 6-foot-8 forward that fits right into the new ear NBA small ball. He can play tough nose defense and shoot the 3. He fits right into what the Celtics want to do.
