Celtics rookie Anton Watson compares his game to Al Horford’s

Anton Watson Celtics Al Horford Boston Celtics Boston (Organization)

Newest Boston Celtics forward Anton Watson might be about to find out that emulating an all-time Celtics great big man is not so easy as it looks. But if he is even vaguely successful at his efforts to learn from and emulate a certain veteran teammate, Boston will be in very good shape indeed. 

The Celtics rookie previewed the NBA’s looming 2024 Las Vegas Summer League set to kick off this coming Saturday (July 13) for the Celtics, and compared his game to Al Horford’s at Boston’s practice on Monday. Watson also spoke about how he hopes to learn from Celtics veterans and shoot more 3s next season.

Thanks to our friends over at the “CLNS Media Boston Sports Network,” you can check out his comments in the clip embedded below.
