The Boston Celtics might not be thinking about the 2022 NBA draft as their primary focus at the moment given they are knotted up at 2 games apiece with the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals, but at least some of the organization remains focused on the looming draft and the talent they might be able to onboard with the No. 53 pick, their only selection of the draft.
And they might do well to bring in players who already see themselves as a kindred spirit in terms of the attention and effort they bring to the defensive end of the ball, such as Georgetown guard Aminu Mohammed.
A native of Lagos, Nigeria, who relocated to the US at age 14 to pursue basketball, Mohammed quickly rose through the ranks of NCAA prospects to become a five-star recruit ahead of electing to sign with the Hoyas for the next step of his career.
