Watch: Celtics guard Marcus Smart drains this halfcourt shot from his back

The Los Angeles Times reported that the Celtics offered Smart and both of their first round picks in Thursday’s draft to Philadelphia for Everett native Nerlens Noel and the third overall pick.
The sixth overall selection in the 2014 NBA Draft, Smart averaged 7.8 points per game as a rookie and finished fifth in the Rookie of the Year voting. His trick shot prowess isn’t as important as his development as an offensive playmaker and jump shooter, but it is evidence he has the potential to do some special things on the basketball court.
The greatest Celtics of all time
