Boston Celtics Draft Kentucky Center Amari Williams No. 46 Overall
Amari Williams, a 7-foot Kentucky center known for his rebounding and shot-blocking skills, was selected 46th overall in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic but was immediately traded to the Boston Celtics. Williams, one of the few British-born players drafted in recent decades, impressed with averages of 10.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game during his lone season at Kentucky. The Celtics, coming off a 61-21 season but facing challenges after injuries to star Jayson Tatum and trading away key players like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, see Williams as a potential replacement at the center position. Williams' 7-foot-6 wingspan and passing ability make him a promising fit for Boston's roster needs. His selection continues Kentucky's long streak of having at least one player drafted annually since 2007. The move reflects the Celtics' strategic effort to bolster their roster as they aim to return to championship contention.
