DRAFT PICK:
Lester Hudson, G, 6-3, Tennessee-Martin (second round, No. 58 overall) -- Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year in his junior and senior years. Set conference scoring record in senior year. Second in the nation (27.5 ppg) behind Stephen Curry. There have been comparisons to Eddie House, but the Celtics think he can handle the ball much better and, thus, play the point. They had him rated much higher than this spot.
