JD Davison is the latest player to join the Boston Celtics, having been selected with the 53rd overall pick. When you’re selecting this deep into the draft, you’re usually doing so with the future in mind, and in Davison’s case, he’s certainly a long term project.
Standing at six-foot-two, Davison has reasonable size for his position, but it’s his athleticism that really jumps out at you, pun intended. The Crimson Tide product is bouncy, explosive, and is no stranger to the occasional highlight play — usually of him catching a body around the rim. However, the NBA is littered with elite athletes.
