NBA Draft 2014: Boston Celtics fans react to Marcus Smart on twitter
In one of the least surprising moves of the 2014 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics made former Oklahoma State Cowboys’ point guard Marcus Smart the fourth-overall pick.
Celtics’ fans on twitter don’t seem upset with the pick, but think it will lead to the end of Rajon Rondo’s tenure in Boston.
#Celtics take Marcus Smart at number 7. Nice knowing you, Rajon.

Boston Celics: Marcus Smart: C+: A parachute in case of Rondo trade. Might be a SG who can't hit 3s. But strong as an ox defensively.

Hey Celtics, now that you have Marcus Smart, can we have Rondo?

Marcus Smart is basically Eric Bledsoe 2.0 imo.
