WATCH: Stashed Boston Celtics guard Juhann Begarin gets 19 points, 5 rebounds vs. Limoges

The No. 45 pick of the 2020 draft is looking good abroad.

While the Boston Celtics quietly churn their way through the 2021-22 NBA season, a seed planted by the team overseas is showing signs of growth in stashed guard Juhann Begarin.

The Celtics’ No. 45 overall pick of the 2020 NBA draft has been playing well overseas in Europe, looking good while manning the backcourt for Paris Basketball in the French LNB Pro A league. The native of Les Abymes, Guadeloupe recently hung 19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals while playing against Limoges in a regular-season contest between the two clubs.

Shooting 7-of-12 from the floor, 3-of-5 from beyond the arc, and a slightly worrisome 2-of-5 from the free-throw line in 35 minutes of playing time hints at Begarin’s potential at the next level should he come over to the NBA in 2022-23.

To see his highlights with your own eyes, watch this clip embedded above put together by YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski.

WATCH: Stashed Celtics guard Juhann Begarin gets 15 points, 6 boards vs. LDLC Asvel

The Les Abymes native continues to develop his game abroad.

Stashed Boston Celtics shooting guard Juhann Begarin did not play well enough in this year’s Las Vegas Summer League action to earn himself a slot with the Celtics this season, but instead signed on to play for France’s Paris Basketball of the LNB Pro A league in that country to continue honing his craft.

And the Les Abymes native has had several impressive games with Paris Basketball already, most recently in an 82 – 79 win over LDLC Asvel. The former No. 45 pick of the 2021 NBA draft scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes of floor time, shooting 5-of-9 from the floor, 1-of-2 from beyond the arc and 4-of-6 from the charity stripe.

If you want to get a look at how the Celtics’ stashed French wing is shaping up in Europe, or just need a break from watching the players on Boston’s roster for a hot second, watch the video embedded below, provided via fan videographer Tomasz Kordylewski.

WATCH: Stashed Boston Celtics wing Juhann Begarin gets 22 points vs. AS Monaco

See all of his best plays from the game with Paris Basketball in this clip.

Fans of the Boston Celtics have grown accustomed to following the development of stashed Israeli point guard Yam Madar as he hones his craft overseas, but as of this last summer, he is not the only prospect stashed by the Celtics abroad.

The former No. 45 pick of the 2021 NBA draft for the Celtics Juhann Begarin has also been hard at work with Paris Basketball of the LNB Pro A league in France. The French shooting guard most recently put up 22 points, 2 rebounds, an assist, and 2 steals in a 100 – 75 blowout loss to AS Monaco. Begarin shot a very good 8-of-13 from the field, just 1-of-4 from 3-point range and 5-of-7 from the charity stripe.

There’s still work to be done on that outside shooting, but the Les Abymes native looks to be coming along nicely this season in general.

Watch the video embedded above to see all his best plays against AS Monaco on Oct. 31 courtesy of the highlights provided by YouTuber Bllen.

WATCH: Stashed Celtics guard Juhann Begarin gets 25 points in blowout win vs. Rouen

The former 45th pick of the 2021 draft helped drive his team to a big win on Wednesday.

While the Boston Celtics’ season opener against the New York Knicks might not have ended the way we wanted as spectacular of a game as it was, one player the Celtics have the rights to also had a huge game, one that ended in a decisive win.

Guard Juhann Begarin, Boston’s selection in the 2021 NBA draft, put up 25 points and 4 rebounds on an absolutely sizzling 10-of-12 shooting night from the floor, including 4-of-4 from the free-throw line. His effort contributed to a 107-81 obliteration of Rouen Métropole Basket by Begarin’s club, Paris Basket LNB Pro A, in the French Basketball Cup tournament.

The French wing had one of the best games of his career on the same night potential future teammate Jaylen Brown put up a career-high 46 points, perhaps channeling the same sort of efficiency demonstrated against the Knicks by Brown.

Watch the Les Abymes native’s best plays from the win courtesy of YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski, bringing us the goods from stashed players to kick off yet another season.

WATCH: Stashed Celtics guard Juhann Begarin gets 14 points, 4 rebounds in win for Paris Basket (10/17)

The stashed Celtics wing is already looking good in France’s LNB Pro A.

Stashed Boston Celtics guard Juhann Begarin is flashing signs of why the Celtics chose to draft him 45th overall in the 2021 NBA draft, having recently led the team he will play for overseas in France — Paris Basketball — to their first ever win in the highest level of competition in French basketball, LNB Pro A.

That win, an 85 – 83 squeaker over Cholet, needed every make Begarin was able to convert to secure the victory, and the Celtics draftee did not disappoint. Putting up 13 points and 4 rebounds, the still 19-year-old wing is putting his distinct imprint on the game.

If you want to get a look at what the Les Abymes, Guadeloupe native has to offer the game lately, take a look at the highlights from his most recent performance with Paris Basket in their win over Cholet.

Watch the video embedded above for all his high points in the win, courtesy of YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski.

A roundup of NBA sleepers draft analysts are higher on than others

Who owns the most real estate on Davion Mitchell Island? Who is buying stock in Sharife Cooper?

Everyone loves Cade Cunningham. It’s not a hot take for an analyst to say that Cunningham is their favorite player in the class. That’s not particularly interesting to read, either.

But what is fascinating, however, is when an analyst deviates from the norm and ranks someone significantly higher than where the prospect falls in other rankings. What does that tell us about their individual scouting process and what they value? Further, what does that tell us about the potential draftee?

Some folks call it “buying stock” in a player. Others, like ESPN’s Zach Lowe or The Ringer’s Bill Simmons, call it owning real estate on a player’s island. I like to refer to it as a “draft crush” when I wind up higher than consensus in my evaluation of a player.

My process is ridiculously tedious but the results can be fairly useful. I’ve tracked the evolution of more than sixty unique mock drafts, big boards and draft models from trusted analysts and popular accounts on Twitter.

Each placement is assigned a value based on Kevin Pelton’s draft pick trade value chart. I do this because, as Pelton notes, the difference in relative value between the No. 5 overall pick and the No. 7 overall is much more stark than, say, that of the No. 45 pick and the No. 47 pick.

After composing an aggregate score based on each ranking, I can see where each analyst strays from the pack.

I’ll leave the conclusions drawn from these results up to the reader. But if nothing else, this can eventually be used as a bragging point if one writer was higher than consensus on a draftee who eventually ends up outperforming his draft position.

Final 2021 NBA Mock Draft: Latest intel, trade rumors and predicting all 60 picks

Wasn’t it just the 2020 NBA draft? How is the 2021 NBA draft already here? Crazy, maybe, but the league is about to have a ton of new faces.

The names that you’re most likely to hear at the top are Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green and Evan Mobley. But the draft will start heating up once guys like Jalen Suggs, Scottie Barnes and Jonathan Kuminga start to find their new homes.

This draft will also be unique in that there will be fewer players in attendance than usual. According to one prospect who recently spoke to For The Win, due to COVID-19 restrictions, those not invited to the green room are not allowed to come to the stage and shake the hand of the commissioner as they have been in years past.

Regardless of who is actually in the building, however, it is certain to be an exciting and life-changing night for the next generation of NBA talent.

Based on conversations I’ve had with scouts around the league, and from reports and tea leaves left in other mock drafts from trusted draftniks, below is how I project the events will unfold at Barclays Center and on ESPN and ABC at 8:00 p.m. ET on July 29.

2021 aggregate NBA mock draft 7.0: Ranking the full class of prospects

The 2021 NBA draft is less than a week away and we finally have an idea of who is in — and who has withdrawn — from the class.

The 2021 NBA draft is less than a week away and we finally have an idea of who is in – and who has withdrawn – from the class.

In order to get a better sense of where all of the prospects stand as of right now, we compiled mock drafts from NBADraft.net, CBS Sports, Bleacher Report, Yahoo, The Athletic, The Ringer, Yahoo, NBA Big Board and USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s For The Win to see where the prospects rank at the moment.

Please note that these rankings reflect the composite score to get a feel for consensus, not our own opinion.

Since our previous update last month, some of the players with the most positive momentum include Quentin Grimes, Joe Wieskamp, Vrenz Bleijenbergh, Aaron Wiggins, Justin Champagnie, Jericho Sims, Jason Preston, Josh Primo, Neemias Queta, Trey Murphy and Bones Hyland.

Among players who ranked on our previous update who have since withdrawn from the draft include Roko Prkacin (32), Marcus Bagley (39), Terrence Shannon (48), Ariel Hukporti (50), Max Abmas (53), Johnny Juzang (54), Jordan Hall (66), Carlos Alocen (69) and Ochai Agbaji (75).

The most notable omissions who remain in this class but not these rankings are Yves Pons, Scottie Lewis, Jay Huff, Marcus Zegarowski, Aamir Simms, Dalano Banton, Matt Mitchell, Jose Alvarado, Carlik Jones, Derrick Alston Jr., Romeo Weems, Balsa Koprivica, Chaundee Brown, Isaiah Miller, Jordan Schakel and D.J. Carton.

Note that for the offensive roles, we borrowed a fun idea from Todd Whitehead (formerly of Nylon Calculus) with help from our friends at Bball-Index.com to create a slightly tweaked formula from the version they use.

The goal of that is not to explain how well a player scores but rather offer context for the way that he was used on his most recent team. This should help you predict how he might be used at the next level.

Meanwhile, you can learn the latest updates on every single prospect who has been included in recent mock drafts by scrolling below.

2021 NBA Draft Big Board 5.0: Final rankings of the Top 100 prospects

With just over a week left until the 2021 NBA draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, it’s officially the most wonderful time of the year!

That means that after a slew of surprising early entry withdrawals impacted the worlds of both college and international basketball, the next generation of NBA talent is getting closer to entering the league. As players finalize their place on big boards in front offices, I wanted to offer my opinion on how I think those rankings should look.

Note that our list is certainly going to look different from the lists at ESPN, The Athletic, Bleacher Report and other publications. Player evaluation is an inexact science. Part of the process is being willing to admit when you were wrong about a player.

But avoiding group-think and ending higher than consensus on a player is how an NBA team ends up selecting them in the draft. With that in mind, here is who I would target if I were running a front office.

2021 NBA Mock Draft 6.0: Predicting all 60 picks after the combine

While most of the basketball world is focused on the NBA Finals, scouts and draftniks are in the midst of a very busy time of year as well.

The most crucial dates leading up to the draft are the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the early entry application deadline, the lottery, the combine and the early entry withdrawal deadline. All have since come and gone, which means that we’re somehow already in the home stretch before the big night in Brooklyn on July 29.

Prospects are still frantically traveling around the country, visiting with teams for both individual and group workouts in front of key decision-makers. Still, others are currently playing for their national team on the FIBA circuit.

But as far as the public is concerned, the only new information that will be released between now and the draft will be filtered through whatever is reported by journalists. As such, until intel starts rolling in, this mock draft offers the most informed projections yet.

While these predictions are based on my conversations with NBA scouts and executives around the league, as well as my own scouting and information-gathering, they’re subject to change dramatically over the course of the next few weeks.
