Boston Celtics select Jeremy Tyler in Sports Gab mock draft.
Over the last couple of days Sports Gab has been conducting a mock draft, and I had the privalege of making the Celtics pick at #25. (links- http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/2011/06/16/slam-dunk-centrals-2011-nba-mock-draft-picks-1-6/, http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/2011/06/17/slam-dunk-centrals-2011-nba-mock-draft-picks-7-12/, http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/2011/06/20/slam-dunk-centrals-2011-nba-mock-draft-picks-13-18/, http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/2011/06/21/slam-dunk-centrals-2011-nba-mock-draft-picks-19-24/) As predicted by most experts and mock drafts, my guy, Jeremy Tyler, was still available when the selection rolled around.
