Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Anton Watson was selected 54th overall by the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA draft, making it four years in a row the Zags have had at least one player drafted - and the second year in a row the defending NBA champions took a player from GU. Watson brings defensive versatility, winning pedigree, and a strong frame to Beantown where he'll likely compete for a two way contract or an end of the bench role.
How did the rest of the NBA draft impact the Zags currently in the NBA? Will Brandon Clarke and Zach Edey be able to co-exist in Memphis? Could the Washington Wizards look to deal Corey Kispert after drafting a sharpshooting wing in Kyshawn George? What does Bronny James, and likely LeBron James, going to the Lakers mean for Rui Hachimura?

As a GU alum, and a life long Celtics fan from New England, I could not be happier with the pick

He’s a great kid that plays for his team. Boston wants versatile players that can switch screens and hit threes sounds like it’s up his alley as he continues to improve his outside shot.

@martinrademakers762 Ай бұрын

In the Celtics spread offense, you need to either shoot the 3pts or when the defense is spread then drive to the rim. Both Celtics draft choices can fit very well into that role.

@ShoLowMan Ай бұрын

I think Boston drafted older and ready players in this draft because they fit into brown and Tatum window and have them on a rookie contract with them being already ready to play

Right they're just not in a big developmental place. Not to say you don't always want to have some development in the pipeline but they're obviously triaging winning now and if they think these guys have a better chance of not being completely stuck in Portland Maine for the next couple years... They've done a pretty good job on some of these long shot stuff. Pritchard and Hauser and kornet we're never really expected to become rotational pieces and yet here they are

@ShoLowMan Ай бұрын

@@michaelcorcoran8768 yup i agree and we are developing Jaden springer and Jordan Walsh right now I’d say those 2 are our clear cut young guys for now

@TheRobversion1 Ай бұрын

if 1 of tillman or luke dont return, he has a chance to crack the rotation. especially early in the season with KP out until december. his main role would be injury insurance big for nov/dec especially when Al sits on the 2nd night of a b2b. this is primarily backstopping their big position in case 1 of luke/tillman is lured away. Kp/AL will miss games. without counting luke/tillman, the only other bigs on the roster are anton and queta. he'll get a 2-way deal and may play in garbage time.

I couldn't believe how they didn't even pretend to cover it for a second. I'd suspect that with the Celtics so far into the tax Brad and Joe would look for Anton to grow into a similar role as Oshae Brissett had last season. Oshae didn't shoot as well as they would have liked but he defended well and his best assets were his rebounding and energy.

Hope that Anton makes the Celtics team. I saw a few (3-4) games of the Gonzaga (they always have a good team with great fundamentals) ever since the Celtics picked Kelly Olynyk, and Anton Watson is the Real Deal and is definitely NBA ready. He just needs to work on his outside/3 point shooting, other than that he will be fine. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 💚💚💚💚💚💚 ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ Onto Banner #19.

I was looking at Anton a few drafts ago hoping the Spurs would pick him up if nothing else a 2-way deal. Glad to hear he got picked up. Can't wait for him to prove me right.

@Eclipse-ss7ko Ай бұрын

If the NBA wants to really go 2 days then it has to discuss trades and allow the team who gets the draft pick actually make the pick. If they do not do this, the 2 day draft will be a failure.

#AntonWatson I like he just need to hit the gym learn Joe's system while getting in the weight room he has great size and potential to grow like JT! He just needs to be better than Semi Ojeleye and he's a great addition for now as well future!
