Boston Celtics Draft: 3 prospects who could help the Cs right away

Draft prospect No. 1) Devin Vassell, SF, Florida State

One of the biggest weaknesses the Boston Celtics must address this offseason is their putrid scoring punch off the pine and, more specifically, adding shooters for their high-volume drive-and-kick system.

On the year, the C’s second-unit finished 28th in the league in 3-point percentage (31.8). Though they may not have the financial flexibility to add an already established dead-eye marksman via free agency, with their numerous first-round selections they could realistically find a cost-efficient prospect to help improve their lackadaisical shooting prowess.

Should they wish to address this area early on in the night, Danny Ainge should look no further than Florida State’s sharpshooter Devin Vassell.

During his sophomore season with the Seminoles, the wing posted solid averages of 12.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game on 49 percent shooting from the floor and 42 percent shooting from deep.

A consistent catch-and-shoot talent and an offensive initiator would be two welcomed assets to have coming off the bench for the Boston Celtics. With Vassell alone they would improve in both these areas.

The 20-year-old is not only a scorer, however, but a trustworthy defensive presence as well. Measuring in at 6-7 while wielding a 6-9 wingspan the wing possesses the perfect length to guard positions from the one all the way to a small-ball four.

A dual-threat talent, Devin Vassell would be a contributor on both ends of the court for the shamrocks from day one.
