From his athletic testing to placing second in the three-point star-shooting drill, Bronny James put on an impressive performance at the NBA Draft Combine that may lead to the Celtics betting on his upside.
And while he's hailed more for his defensive prowess, James also drilled 19/25 attempts from beyond the arc during the three-point star-shooting drill, the second-most makes in the competition.His measurements will raise concerns among some, clocking in at 6-foot-1.5 without shoes -- despite being listed at six-foot-four at USC -- with a six-feet, 7.25-inch wingspan.
ESPN's Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo project the Celtics to be among those willing to bet on James' upside.The Celtics also have the 30th selection, but they have not made a first-round pick for themselves since Brad Stevens became the president of basketball operations for the franchise.
