No. 1: Abdel Nader – forward – Iowa State
A familiar face to even relatively new fans of the Celtics, Nader seems to be on the verge of breaking through as a regular rotation player with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Egyptian forward was taken 58th by Boston in the 2016 NBA Draft, and averaged 3 points and 1.5 boards per game before being traded to the Thunder the following summer.
He’s since worked himself into the regular rotation there, and looks poised to earn even more minutes going forward.
