Ever since the Boston Celtics selected Tremont Waters 51st overall in this past June’s draft, it has been apparent that the front office, coaching staff and fanbase alike — yes, we read your comments — have nothing but positive feelings for and confidence in the team’s rookie point guard.
His two year stint with the LSU Tigers (2017-19) was one filled with highly impressive counting stats and multiple accolades. He averaged 15.6 points, 5.9 assists and 2.4 steals per game while achieving honors such as First-Team All-SEC and SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
Had it not been for his relatively small stature (5-10, 175-pounds) his numbers and achievements should have certainly warranted him consideration for being a first round selection.
