Five guards for the Boston Celtics to watch from the 2021 NBA Draft

While it’s much too soon to think about the 2021 NBA Draft for most, for the Boston Celtics, there’s no time like the present.

No. 5 – Terrence Shannon, Texas Tech

Shannon is classified as a forward at the NCAA level, but at 6-foot-6 will likely be more of a two guard, especially with his propensity for scoring.

The Rookie Wire’s Bryan Kalbrosky notes Shannon scored 1.16 points per possession as a one-on-one scorer according to Synergy, good for the 95th percentile in that category.

“His jumper needs improvement,” notes Kalbrosky, “but his free-throw percentage (82.9%) suggests he has the right form to take that leap.”
