SJHN Daily: Another NHL Team Interviewed Warsofsky, Draymond Has Never Seen a 17-Year-Old Like Celebrini
Draymond Green is excited for the San Jose Sharks to make Macklin Celebrini the first-overall pick of the 2024 Draft.
Green knows “Mack” well: His Golden State Warriors hired Celebrini’s dad, Rick Celebrini, to be their director of sports medicine and performance in 2018. Green met a young Macklin Celebrini shortly thereafter.
And now, the 17-year-old phenom is about to make hockey history. And the four-time NBA champion has been on the ground floor of it: “Since the time he came here at 11 or 12 years old, just seeing him put the work in with his father each and everyday, and the focus that he has for a 17-year-old…is unmatched by any 17-year-old I’ve ever seen.”
