It constantly affects this.
It is really important to us. So, yes, I think it is definitely something as employees we are talking about, not only for him, but for all our men. “
Watson advances
CelTics Choose the second round Anton Watson A dual -direction contract signed last summer but did not appear in a game. He spent most of the year with the team G League, but Mazzulla said that Watson was still making progress.

I think another modification period, everyone looks at situations, but for him he is modified to those who guard you. You are not firm in college as much as it is At this level.
Therefore, even in the training camp, many of the things we worked on were the tools that it enjoyed in exchange for the intense matching and being guarded through different situations, and what it seems?
