The Celtics selected Anton Watson with the 54th overall pick. He’s a six-foot-eight forward from Gonzaga. Known for his versatility as an on-ball defender who can guard all positions.
He’s also a savvy passer, and Celtics fans will love his intensity.

The Boston Celtics getting Anton Watson at 54 is defintiely a Boston type of pick. Experienced F who can make plays out of the post and on the move, and has been of the most versatile defenders in college basketball the last few seasons. If he can shoot it, he can stick.

Anton Watson is an elite defensive forward heading to the Celtics. If he ends up being a more consistent shooter I would then expect him to carve out a role in the NBA for more years to come.
