In the real 2019 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics selected Grant Williams with this pick. They switch directions completely in this re-draft, taking guard Ty Jerome with the twenty-second overall pick.
Williams has been alright during his time in Boston, providing some defensive versatility and three-point shooting. However, he’s been fairly inconsistent during his time in the league.
Jerome had a pretty uneventful rookie season with the Suns but has played great during his time in Oklahoma City. At 6-5, he could give the C’s some great combo guard minutes.
His biggest draw as a player has to be his improved three-point shooting. His numbers jumped up from 28.0% on not many attempts in his rookie season, to 42.3% on over five attempts per game.
Having this sort of shooting would be a huge help off the bench for the Boston Celtics. They snag Jerome at twenty-two in this re-draft.
