Boston Celtics: 3 players worth trading up for in 2020 NBA Draft

Player worth Cs trading up for No. 3) James Wiseman, C

Now, of all the players mentioned on this list, we believe James Wiseman to be the least attainable for a bevy of reasons. That said, according to a CBSSports.com Mock, the Memphis product could fall to as low as eight in the upcoming draft.

Remember who owns that pick folks: the Washington Wizards.

Remember who could use far more than just one hole filler coming into 2020-21: the Washington Wizards.

Being that the Boston Celtics hold a bevy of draft capital as well as a plethora of talented players, the partnership between the Cs and Wizards in a draft-day deal might be a match made in heaven and, should Wiseman be found within Washington’s reach, the shamrocks should follow all measures to pull the trigger on a trade.

Ranked as one of the best bigs in this year’s class, the 19-year-old center has an unbelievable set of skills at a position the Celtics could certainly use an upgrade at.

Listed at 7-1, the one-and-done center posted impressive averages of 19.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, and three blocks per game on a whopping 77 percent shooting from the floor.

After the way Boston was bullied down low by Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo, it’s safe to say they need to bolster their center spot if they realistically want a chance at winning banner number 18 any time soon.

No, Wiseman can’t space the floor like how Brad Stevens prefers. That said, a four-out, one-in offensive scheme is still a fantastic way to run an offense — just ask the Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. With his combination of strength, rebounding, and post moves, I’m sure coach will be just fine with the shift in the offensive game.
