NIHAD DJEDOVIC

Position: Shooting guard/small forward

Team: Galatasaray (Turkey)

Age: 22

Height: 6-foot-7

Weight: 211 pounds

Achievements: Was on the 2009 FC Barcelona club that won the Spanish national championship

Key 2011-12 stats: 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 50.9 FG% with Galatasaray (Turkey); 11.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 54.7 FG% with Lottomatica (Italy)

What he brings: Djedovic is an aggressive player who can create turnovers and score from the paint and outside. Even so, he isn’t the most athletic player and can be inconsistent. His 3-point shooting isn’t the best — he converted 33.3 percent of his attempts with Galatasaray — and he converted 63.9 percent of his free throws, leaving room for improvement.

Djedovic might be better suited for the European game. He will find it harder to get free for his shot against more athletic NBA opponents, and his individual defense is suspect.

Where the Celtics could get him: Djedovic is projected to get drafted late in the second round by a team willing to wait a couple of years for him to be ready to make the jump from Europe.

Notes: Barcelona owns Djedovic’s rights and has loaned him to multiple teams, including Italy’s Lottomatica Roma, with whom Djedovic started the season before moving over to Galatasaray. Barcelona retains his rights for two more years. … He had declared for the 2011 NBA draft prior to withdrawing in June 2011. … His teenage brother, Nedim Djedovic, is a highly regarded prospect also under Barcelona’s control.
