The Boston Celtics have selected Amari Williams with the No. 46 pick. He will be on a two-way contract next season. British center with an intriguing combination of length (7-foot-6 wingspan), rebounding prowess, shot-blocking timing and feel as a passer.

Booker, the Suns No. 13 overall pick in the 2015 Draft, has played all 10 NBA seasons in Phoenix and now lands his third contract extension with the franchise. He doubles down again on his loyalty to the Suns – and wanting to win there – in an era of frequent player movement.
