Celtics add pair of G League Ignite prospects in new Rookie Wire mock draft

While most of us are focused on the trade deadline, our sister site gears up to gauge the 2022 NBA draft for Boston.

Now, with the whole of NBA fandom and analysis with their attention focused on improving teams via trade, there is not a whole lot of attention being paid to the other primary means of team building — the coming 2022 NBA draft.

But a few intrepid analysts are already firing up their mock draft engines, and editor of our sister site Cody Taylor has done exactly that, with a pair of projected picks in store for the Boston Celtics so long as they retain their picks in the 2022 draft. And while that certainly is far from a certainty given the expectations of Boston staying busy on the trade front before the Feb. 10 deadline, it would be criminal mismanagement to ignore their due diligence in the draft.

So with that said, let’s take a look at Taylor’s picks for Boston based on where they stand in terms of estimated draft order at present.
