The Boston Celtics used their No. 53 pick in the 2022 NBA draft to pick up Alabama point guard JD Davison, a 6-foot-3, 190 llbs. floor general with a g-foot-7 wingspan who is especially adept at moving the ball and rebounding with solid defensive skills to boot. “He’s a guy we’ve seen all year long,” said Celtics team president Brad Stevens after the draft concluded Thursday.
While there are questions about his long-distance shot given he shot just 30.1% from beyond the arc in his sole season with Alabama. The Latohatchee, Alabama native put up 8.5 points, 4.8 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.0 steal, and 0.4 blocks per game at his hometown school, turning the ball over 2.9 times and fouling 1.2 times per contest.
