The new kid on the block. Welcome the Celtics organization to the Music City.

Start with Jaime Graham, Gerald Robinson, Josh Slater and Cameron Jordan four of the finest backcourt players in the mid-state area. The inside will be manned by big Scott Saunders and a host of improving giants. The Celtics will be a fun group to watch this summer.
