Austin Ainge: Yam Madar “improved in every area Boston wanted him to this season”

With the NBA Draft and Summer League just around the corner, it’s “pump up your prospects” season in Boston. Earlier today, Celtics Director of Player Personnel Austin Ainge spoke glowingly of last year’s second round draft pick, Yam Madar.

Boston Celtics front office executive Austin Ainge said that 2019 second round pick Yam Madar has "improved on everything we wanted him to" in the past year. Ainge said "We'll see what the future holds (for Madar)."

Madar spent last year competing in his home country of Israel, where he posted numbers similar to what lead fellow Israeli Deni Avdija getting drafted 9th overall by the Washington Wizards.
