The 51st overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft out of LSU,
Waters split his time between the Celtics and the Red Claws this year as a
two-way player. The point guard appeared in 10 games with the Celtics, posting

Waters became the fourth Red Claw in franchise history to
earn Rookie of the Year honors, joining Abdel Nader, Tim Frazier, and DeShawn
Sims. In addition, Waters was selected to the Eastern Conference Midseason
All-NBA G League team.
While the G League’s season was cut short, the NBA will soon
begin its reboot in Orlando at the end of July. Waters will be eligible to
play, as the league expanded its roster capacity to 17.
