Report: Boston Celtics hire Drew Nicholas as Executive Director of Player Personnel
The Boston Celtics have reportedly hired Drew Nicholas as Executive Director of Player Personnel, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Per Scotto, "Nicholas spent last season as a scout for the Brooklyn Nets," and prior to that job, "he spent the prior two years as Director of Scouting for the Denver Nuggets."
Nicholas' path to the Celtics before those stops began as a player for the University of Maryland, where the Hempstead, New York native played at the NCAA level. After going unselected in the 2003 NBA draft, Nicholas played in Europe until 2012, with some stints played for higher-profile clubs like Panathinaikos and Emporio Armani Milano before becoming a scout for the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2016.
Stepping into the role played by former Celtics Director of Player Personnel Austin Ainge after his decampment to the Utah Jazz earlier this summer, the former Terrapin should be a solid option to help guide Boston in adding talent to their next contending roster.
