Celtics Eye Amari Allen in Draft

0:00On March 28th, the Boston Celtics head into the draft with their own first round pick near the end, thanks to their strong season. A recent match draft projects them selecting small-forward Amari Allen from Alabama, a move that fits their strategy of adding players with college, seasoning. Brad Stevens and the front office favorite prospects who bring maturity right away, and Allen checks that box after a solid freshman year. Scouts seem as a smart fit for a contender like Boston, where he could develop without rushing into big minutes. The Ford group is already deep with Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, and young talents like Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Shireman. That means any rookie wing would need to earn time through practice, and likely stints with the main Celtics G Lee team. Allen has posted 11.6 points, seven rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, over 31 outings. He shoots well inside at 55.7%, but must boost his free throw mark above 73% to thrive as a driver. As March scouting heats up, the Celtics are eyeing several options, and Allen could stick around long term if he lands there.
