On this day in Boston Celtics history, the storied franchise drafted four players of note in the 2019 NBA draft. With the 51st pick, the Celtics selected 5-foot-10 point guard Tremont Waters out of Louisiana State University, who would later sign with the team as a two way player who spent most of his rookie season with the Maine Red Claws — the Celtics’ G League developmental affiliate.
There, he would earn G League Rookie of the Year honors while averaging 18 points, 3.2 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 2 steals per game while shooting 7.1 3-pointers per game with 35.4 % accuracy in his inaugural season.
He was with the team for two seasons (all as a two way player), with a career average of 3.8 points and 2.1 assists per game at the NBA level.
