Former Alabama men’s basketball guard JD Davison was drafted No. 53 overall by the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA draft. When first joining Alabama as a five-star prospect, many had high hopes that he would be a first-run selection following his first season of college basketball.
Instead, Davison left after his first year and was selected deep in the second round by the Celtics. The reigning Eastern Conference champions had only one pick in the draft and used it to select Davison.
The young star is already with the team and practicing. He recently sat down during meditation availability to discuss the team and his role on the Celtics.
