Celtics Have an Intern to Say When to Smile On Draft Night
You have one job!
And that is to tell everyone in the Celtics draft room to say “Cheese.”
Boston’s Director of Player Personnel Austin Ainge told Adam Kaufman of Boston.com that they have a foolproof plan to avoid getting caught frowning on draft night.
We’ve assigned an intern this year, ‘Hey, you tell us when we’re on camera so we can all smile.’
As funny and ridiculous as it sounds, it actually makes sense.
We’ve seen it a million times on draft night: The pick’s announced and there’s an awkward delay between the time of the selection and the player’s reaction, so it looks like the player’s unenthused about the team that drafted him.
