Boston Celtics: 3 more players Cs could target at pick No. 14

Boston Celtics target No. 1) Precious Achiuwa, PF/ C

First up on our list we have a player that was just linked to the Boston Celtics at number 14 in one of Bleacher Report’s most recent mock drafts.

Precious Achiuwa, the one-and-done big-man out of Memphis, put up impressive numbers for the Tigers throughout the 2019-20 season. Through 31 games played, the talented 20-year-old managed to put up averages of 15.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game on 49 percent shooting from the field and 33 percent shooting from deep.

B/R’s reasoning behind their decision to bestow the big to the Celtics read as follows:

"The Celtics could look at Achiuwa to inject their frontcourt with athleticism and defensive versatility. Despite lacking polish offensively, defensive versatility could be his NBA moneymaker, though flashes of face-up moves and spot-up threes indicate he has more scoring potential to reach."

With his performance, by season’s end, Achiuwa racked up numerous accolades such as First-Team All-ACC, ACC Freshman of the Year, and ACC Player of the Year.

With his impressive combination of strength, athleticism, and impressive shot-blocking/ offensive rebounding skills coupled with the fact that the Boston Celtics should seriously consider bolstering their frontcourt rotation this offseason, targeting Achiuwa might be a serious option for Danny Ainge at this point in the draft.
