Five 2020 second-round guard prospects for Boston to consider

The Boston Celtics don’t just have three first-round picks in the 2020 NBA Draft – they also have a pick in the middle of the second round, and these are five guards they should consider.

Cassius Winston — point guard — Michigan State

Winston is an intriguing alternative for a team looking for bench scoring; while also a bit older and just 6-foot-1, Winston’s offensive capabilities are worth a look.

The Detroit native scored 18.6 points and 5.9 assists per game in his senior season at Michigan State, and shot 43.2 % from beyond the arc on 5.6 attempts per contest. He’s also a frequent visitor to the charity stripe at 4.5 attempts per game, connecting 85.2 % of his free throws.

Apart from his age, his biggest knocks are his size-related limitations on defense and rebounding, and tendency to turn the ball over.
