Austin Ainge, director of player personnel for the Boston Celtics, met with the media Wednesday morning ahead of the 2021 NBA draft to be held the following day, and discussed a number of issues related to the Celtics’ team-building efforts this offseason.
The draft of course was a central focus along with several other issues, but among the issues discussed, there was a fair amount of interest in how stashed 2020 draft prospect Yam Madar fit into the team’s plans this summer for Las Vegas Summer League and beyond to the regular season to come. Ainge, himself not part of the considerable shake-up that saw his father Danny step down as team president, had plenty to say about the Israeli floor general.
“Yam’s doing great,” related Ainge regarding questions about the Beit Dagan native, currently working out on the West Coast with Semi Ojeleye’s trainer.
