The second round pick has lit it up in Summer League play for Boston while growing his friendship with other Celtics rookies Romeo Langford, Grant Williams and Tremont Waters.
The Purdue product was the last of the Celtics rookies to sign a contract after the two first-rounders Williams and Langford signed earlier this week.
He is a quick shooter who can hit from beyond NBA range as well as burst his way through the lane to the rim. However, his speed on drives sometimes forces him to make awkward layup attempts in the paint that lead to misses.
