The Boston Celtics continue to probe the depths of the 2021 NBA draft class, most recently focusing on a handful of players projected to be taken from the middle of the second round to potentially undrafted, per Forbes Sports’ Chris Grenham and Sport TV Portugal’s Ricardo Brito Reis.
The Celtics have only their second-round pick slated to come in at No. 45 overall, so this range makes sense if they plan on using it. But despite having traded away their first-round pick in this year’s draft, the team has been interviewing prospects projected to the first round, even including a few players in lottery range.
So, while we can’t tell you too much about what Boston might be planning based on who they’ve been interviewing and working out, we can tell you about the players they are reported to have interest in — let’s take a quick look.
Boston isn’t slacking off in pre-draft workouts despite the fact they currently have no first-round pick. https://t.co/xCV41zAcGy
