Bruins’ Charlie McAvoy Welcomes Celtics’ Jayson Tatum To Boston, TD Garden

Whether it’s on the basketball or hockey side of things, it’s a good time to be a young athlete in Boston.

The Celtics selected Duke forward Jayson Tatum with the No. 3 overall pick in Thursday night’s 2017 NBA Draft, and another up-and-coming Boston athlete was quick to send him a warm welcome.

Welcome to Boston @jaytatum0 hopefully I'll be seeing you around @tdgarden @celtics

Charlie McAvoy quickly made a name for himself playing defense for the Boston Bruins in the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs. Tatum will hope to make the same impact for the young C’s in front of a fan base that expects wins.
