Early last summer, Juhann Begarin was a name few Celtics fans had heard of. Then on a Thursday night in late July, “Juhann Begarin” was a name etched in Celtics history, the forever answer to a trivia question: Who was Brad Stevens’s first-ever draft pick?
Many years down the road, the difficulty of that trivia will depend on what becomes of the 19-year-old from Guadeloupe.
