Much like Boston's second two first-round selections (Guerschon Yabusele and Ante Zizic, who will likely be spending the next year or two overseas), this was made with an eye to the future.
The Celtics did make a pick at No. 31, Michigan State power forward Deyonta Davis, but he was quickly sent to Memphis.
