As might be expected with the 53rd pick of the 2022 NBA draft, the Boston Celtics went with a player likely something of a mystery to most Celtics fans, freshman point guard JD Davison out of the University of Alabama. The word on the Latohatchee, Alabama native is that he oozes athleticism and the potential that comes with his lightning-fast downhill attack.
But also that he is something of a disaster on wheels when it comes to decision-making, which is amplified by how raw the young prospect is in terms of skills and a feel for the game. That can change with a team investing time in Davison, which Celtics team president Brad Stevens gave every indication that Boston intends to after the franchise selected the 19-year-old Crimson Tide floor general.
“He’s a guy that we’ve seen all year long,” suggested Stevens. “Very young, very explosive, that’s pretty obvious.”
Davison will take time to develop, but the payoff could be big. https://t.co/Al0amtN3yA
