According to the IndyStar’s Tyler Kraft, the Boston Celtics are set to host Belmont University’s Dylan Windler for a workout ahead of the 2019 NBA Draft. Windler, represented by agent Mark Bartelstein, was a four-year player for the Bruins, and led Belmont to a 16-2 record and bid to the NCAA Tournament last season.
Windler now travels to Chicago, where he is staying ahead of the draft to train with fellow clients of Priority Sports & Entertainment and agent Mark Bartelstein. He will then visit with the Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics.
Windler, a sharpshooting wing with great size (6-foot-8, 200 pounds), averaged 21.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks per game in 2018-19 while shooting 54.0 percent from the field, 42.9 percent from three and 84.7 percent from the free-throw line.
He’s averaged 16.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks per game since becoming a full-time starter in 2016-17, shooting 54.6 percent from the field, 42.2 percent from three and 77.4 percent from the free-throw line in that stretch.
For the Celtics, Windler provides Boston with a wing that can thrive without having the ball in his hands and a player with enough size, rebounding prowess, feel and defensive ability to play up to three positions depending on the lineup.
The 22-year-old earned first-team All-OVC (Ohio Valley Conference) honors in 2018-19 and has more career defensive rebounds (790) than any player in the Ohio Valley Conference as well.
