EuroLeague standout guard Brad Wanamaker is finalizing a deal to join the Boston Celtics for the 2018-19 season, according to multiple reports Monday.

Wanamaker, 28, helped Turkish team Fenerbahce reach the EuroLeague Final Four this season, earning second-team all-EuroLeague honors.

He has discussed possible deals with NBA teams on multiple occasions in recent years. Wanamaker has spent the last seven seasons playing in Europe after going undrafted out of Pittsburgh in 2011.

Wanamaker averaged 16.7 points, 4.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game while shooting 38.6 percent from 3-point range during in 2016-17 EuroLeague play. Playing seven fewer minutes per game last season, he averaged 11.3 points, 3.8 assists and 2.7 rebounds.

The Celtics have some uncertainty in the backcourt with Marcus Smart set to hit restricted free agency on July 1.
