The Boston Celtics do not have a first-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft.
Because of this, most people have abandoned the idea of adding a rookie to the team.
However, the Cs do still have a second-round pick. At pick 45, there will still be some really great prospects on the board.
Experts everywhere regard this class as one of the best in recent history. With names such as Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley, most eyes immediately go to the top prospects.
However, there have been multiple other prospects both impressing at the combine and climbing up draft boards. This rapid movement could lead to some NBA-level players falling in the draft.
With this in mind, there could be some really good players available when the Celtics are on the clock. Prospects are moving in and out of the first round in mock drafts every day.
As mentioned, the NBA combine raised the stock of some, and in tandem, lowered the stock of others. Unfortunately, since the Cs have no first-rounders, many fans have no idea who they could select in Round 2.
In order to keep up with the ever-changing mock drafts, it’s important to create a big board. This way, Boston Celtics fans are able to keep track of who their favorite team could pick up.
While a point guard may seem enticing, once the second round comes around, taking the best player available is the best bet.
It’s important to note that all these players are projected to go in a wide variety of draft positions. Some could very well be first-round talents but are projected to drop into round-two in some mocks.
Taking all this into account, here are the top 20 names the Boston Celtics should keep an eye on heading towards draft night:
