He played at Gonzaga until his junior year, after that the Dallas Mavericks selected him in the first round (13th overall) in the 2013 NBA Draft. He never got to play in Dallas though. Instead, the Mavericks traded him to the Celtics right after they selected him for two future second-round picks and the rights of Lucas Nogueira.
