Celtics select Demetrius Jackson with No. 45th pick

Matt Cashore-USA TODAY Sports

The Boston Celtics selected Notre Dame's Demetrius Jackson with the 45th pick of the 2016 NBA Draft.

Jackson is one of the quickest and most explosive point guards in this draft class (he measured to have a 44-inch vertical at the NBA draft combine). He often makes the right decision with the ball in his hands, whether he's sticking to his usual pass-first ways or releasing his dependable jumper.

At 6-foot-1 and 194 pounds, however, the 21-year-old's size is often cited as a concern.
