No. 4 – Paul Reed, DePaul
As noted before on the Celtics Wire, Reed is an outstanding rim-protector and rebounder despite being just 6-foot-9, and can handle the ball and shoot well enough that you can see potential for growth on offense as well.
His scoring is varied if unpolished, and while not a knockdown shot, he’s a crafty pickpocket on defense, stealing the ball 1.9 per game in 2019-20. A low free throw attempt rate.
Boston shouldn’t be put off by the fact that he will be a little old at 21 by draft night, but if available at 26th or later, the Celtic should seriously consider the low-floor prospect.
