While it’s much too soon to start thinking about what kind of team the Boston Celtics will be in the summer of 2021, for those in charge of keeping an eye on NBA prospects for the team have already been working on such a task for some time.
And as we draw closer — though we’re not sure how much closer — to the 2020 NBA Draft, the picture begins to come into focus as other elements of the puzzle begin to become known.
For now, the biggest piece of the puzzle to snap into place is simply having a better idea of who will be available to be drafted in the first place, and with the 2020 NBA Draft early entry period over, it’s much clearer exactly who will be there to populate the big boards of the NBA’s 30 teams.
With that knowledge, then, let’s take a look at the top five guards, bigs, and wings that could fall within the Celtics range over the next few weeks, using The Rookie Wire’s early look at the top 60 prospects of the 2021 NBA Draft.
