Well, that's interesting because I have one that they maybe got away from them and turned into a really good player.
High draft pick, like 14th overall by the Celtics in 2020.
Same year as Peyton Pritchard, if I remember correctly.
And he didn't have much of a role, though.
Like, Pritchard got a lot more of the minutes when Kemba Walker got injured.
Neesmith was struggling to crack the rotation.
This was when Brad Stevens was the coach.
He eventually made a good impression.
Started to play a little more regularly But in the second season, his minutes dipped even more
He did make the finals with them.
I mean, he was on that team that made the finals.
But then he was traded to Indy in the summer in the Malcolm Brogdon deal.
And that's where things took off for him.
