The Boston Celtics are among the more liberal users of the so-called “draft-and-stash” strategy to developing players overseas, and currently have a pair of guard prospects stashed overseas in European leagues.
Such players have had mixed results in working out as NBA prospects in the past, though occasionally teams find a diamond in the rough through stashing prospects they do not have the roster or cap space to develop in their own team. Boston’s stashed guards — Yam Madar and Juhann Begarin — were recently evaluated by a European scout who spoke with Celtics Blog’s Keith Smith about how likely they were to make it at the next level.
Let’s take a look at some of Smith’s reporting on the scout’s analysis.
