What to expect from the Boston Celtics two second-round additions
On Thursday, June 26, the Boston Celtics struck a deal with the Orlando Magic that saw the Celtics send out the 32nd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft in return for the 46th and 57th picks, along with a 2026 second-rounder and a 2027 second-rounder.
Boston used the 46th and 57th picks to acquire Amari Williams and Max Shulga late in the second round. Both rookies are expected to spend the majority of next season with the Maine Celtics in the G League. Nevertheless, there's still a level of excitement surrounding the duo. Williams is arguably the best passing big man in his draft class, and Shulga is one of the better guard prospects in terms of multi-level scoring.
