The Boston Celtics selected Jeff Green with the fifth overall pick in tonight’s NBA Draft.
ESPN’s Andy Katz is reporting that the Celtics have agreed on a trade with the Seattle Supersonics in which the fifth pick (now Jeff Green), forward/guard Wally Szczerbiak, and Delonte West will go to the Sonics in exchange for guard Ray Allen.
Green is a 6-foot-9 235-pound swing player out of Georgetown who was selected this past year as a Third Team All-America as well as the Big East Player of the Year and the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA East Regional.
Stay tuned for more. It figures to be a while before the Celtics confirm the trade.
