Pick #28
Boston Celtics
GM: HEARNBURN
The Celtics previously traded up with the Orlando Magic to select Kristap Porzingis at #5.
With the 28th pick in the draft, the Celtics and GM HEARNBURN select:
28) Nikola Milutinov, Center from Serbia
From GM HEARNBURN:
After trading up to #5 to draft Porzingis, we the Celtics front office decided to take a gamble on potential with the 28th pick. Nikola Milutinov is a 20 year old 7 foot Center out of Serbia. He has great physical tools and motor that will translate well into the NBA. He has above the rim capabilities and embraces contact. He does most of his work on offense around the rim, but has a nice jumper. We will have to work on defense for Milutinov. He needs to work on shot blocking and attacking the glass for rebounds. He could spend more time overseas before we bring him over.
On the clock we now have GM Marcgasaucey and the Nets at #29.
