Boston Celtics: 3 players team should target in 2018 NBA Draft

SG Grayson Allen- Duke

Grayson Allen has potential. Lots and lots of potential. More then the average player you would find with the No.27 pick.

Allen may not look very athletic, but there’s more to everything then meets the eye. Coming out of Providence High School, Allen came into Duke being regarded as one of the most athletic players in the country.

That moniker might have been lost in time, but he is still that kind of player.

Allen’s time in Durham has been tainted by tripping incidents and playing along lottery picks. That, however, is an unfair representation.

Allen has the potential to be a knockdown shooter. This past season he shot 37 percent from three, which included some very streaky games. If he can be a little more consistent, he can easily develop as a top shooter at the next level.

Allen is just two years removed from averaging over 20 points a game during one of Duke’s toughest schedules in recent memory.

He can do it all on offense and is ruthless on defense. The main knocks on Grayson Allen are his attitude and position.

He can easily be a two guard in the NBA and a very versatile player in the Boston Celtics system under Brad Stevens.
