Abrams didn't get drafted for several reasons.  He's too short (6-7) for
his position (power forward), and there are also concerns about his weight,
quickness, and athleticism.  He's also not a good defensive player.  I'm
not sure what his chances of making the celtics (or any other team) would
be, but it he made it then he'd be a 11th or 12th man, not someone who
would see a whole lot of playing time.
