Boston Celtics fans always love to speculate over potential offseason additions. Well, one player, in particular, has stolen the spotlight in recent weeks — Yam Madar.

Madar was selected 47th overall by the Celtics in 2020. He spent last year playing overseas in the Israeli Basketball Premier League.

The 20-year-old appeared in 30 games with Hapoel Tel Aviv, playing 33.2 minutes per game. He averaged 17.1 points, three rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 46.9% from the field and 40.9% from deep.

Many draft experts loved his upside during the draft last year, and that love is now resurfacing.
