Meet the Newest Celtic, an 18-Year-Old From France With a 7-Foot Wingspan

C's select SG Juhann Begarin with 45th pick in NBA Draft originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

With the 45th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics have selected Juhann Begarin.

Begarin is a 6-foot-6 shooting guard out of France with a 7-foot wingspan. In 39 games with Paris in LNB Pro B, the 18-year-old averaged 11.7 points and 2.9 rebounds while shooting 45.6 percent from the floor.

Here are Chris Forsberg's thoughts on the pick:

Begarin likely is a draft stash for the Celtics, who did not have a first-round pick on Thursday night.
