Should the Boston Celtics consider taking G league Ignite forward Tyler Smith in the 2024 NBA draft? A 6-foot-10 swingman with an impressive 7-foot-1 wing span weighing in at 224 lbs., Smith can shoot the rock from beyond the arc well, but is a bit challenged on the defensive end of the court despite his considerable physical tools.
He is mocked a bit above the Celtics’ range in the first round at No. 30 overall (given Boston finished the 2023-24 season with the league’s best record), but could require a trade to safely draft the Texan forward. The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took a closer look on a recent episode of their show.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.
