Boston reportedly works out a pair of 2023 NBA draft prospects

The Boston Celtics and their fans are firmly focused on the Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Philadelphia 76ers that is about to begin. But the team itself has a sizable part of the organization keeping an eye on the potential prospects available to be selected with the Celtics pick in the second round of this year’s draft.

That pick may be the Houston Rockets’ second at No. 32, or the Portland Trail Blazers’ at No. 35 thanks to some arcane pick protections involving Boston’s trove of draft assets, but no matter how the draft lottery breaks, the Celtics will be picking near the top of the round, and have been holding workouts in that range of prospects per multiple reports.

One of the two prospects may end up returning to the University of Kentucky according to the New York Times’ Adam Zagoria, but has scheduled a workout with Boston, along with the Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets, and Sacramento Kings among other NBA teams.
