Desmond Bane, the 6-foot-5 inch, 215-pound sharpshooting guard that the Orlando Magic just acquired in exchange for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, four first-round picks, and a pick swap, once had an extremely brief stint as a Celtic.
The Celtics selected Bane with the 30th overall pick in the 2020 draft and traded him on draft night for a pair of future second-round picks.
Five years later, Bane has established himself as a consistent and efficient scorer, the kind of piece that a playoff team would pay a premium price for as a second or third option.
He’s a career 19.
