Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens are excited about the Celtics’ draft picks

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics continued to amass more young talent via the NBA draft as they look to fortify a roster facing uncertainty with free agency looming.

The Celtics began Thursday night holding the 14th, 20th, 22nd and 51st picks.

After taking former Indiana guard Romeo Langford at No. 14, Boston selected former Washington guard Mattise Thybulle with the 20th pick, whose rights it planned to send to Philadelphia.

Boston used its 22nd pick to take former Tennessee All-American and two-time Southeastern Conference player of the year Grant Williams. The Celtics selected LSU guard Tremont Waters in the second round with the 51st pick.
