Romeo Langford’s freshman season at Indiana didn’t go the way he probably wanted it to.
The first of the Celtics’ two first round picks in Thursday’s draft experienced all sorts of highs and lows while navigating through his one and only year in Bloomington, both personally and on a team level. After suffering a torn right thumb ligament during a November practice, Langford opted to play through the pain rather than sit out the rest of the season. Given that the injury was to the thumb on his shooting hand, his percentages, particularly from 3, suffered for it.
