6 NCAA prospects Boston might consider in the 2020 NBA Draft

The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie and Jared Weiss highlight six prospects the Boston Celtics may consider taking in the 2020 NBA Draft, and the Celtics Wire reviews their assessments.

Aaron Nesmith – Vanderbilt

A Celtics Wire favorite, and for good reason. The Vanderbilt product is a lethal long-distance shooter (52.2 % on 8.2 attempts per game in 2019-20), and a good defender to boot.

“Nesmith is a monster shooter, and he’s particularly great at it coming off screens and off movement,” observes Vecenie. “That’s an immediately translatable skill, and it’ll help him make an impact early as a floor spacer.”

Nesmith recorded 23 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest last season.
