Bennett Stirtz: Celtics' Draft Target

0:00On March 31st, the Boston Celtics are already scouting ahead for the NBA draft, and one name popping up big time is Iowa Guard Bennett Sturts After. His team's surprise run to the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament. Bleacher reports Jonathan Wasserman just predicted the Celtics could snag Sturts in the first round, highlighting his smooth shot-making in touch. That helped carry Iowa deep into March madness. Scouts love his numbers this season, like converting 90 dribble jumpers and finishing 70.2% at the rim, plus he's a lead-at, 50.8% on Catch and Shoot 3s, but they wonder if he can create space against taller defenders. This 22-year-old shooting guard grinded it through four college stops, starting at Northwest Missouri State, then Drake before exploding at Iowa, with 19.8 points and 4.4 assists over 37 games. This looks like a solid fit for Boston's back court, bringing that 3.5% and playmaking they crave as they gear up for summer decisions.
