The Boston Celtics conducted pre-draft workouts with a trio of fringe 2021 NBA draft prospects on Tuesday in addition to NAIA standout E.J. Onu, according to Forbes Sports’ Chris Grenham. The Celtics have been working out a number of 2021 draft prospects likely to go late in the second round or undrafted, presumably with an eye for being taken with Boston’s No. 45 pick in the latter round of this year’s draft, or perhaps to sign to a camp deal.
While it’s tempting to read the proverbial tea leaves regarding what the Celtics are planning on draft night with such an assortment of players coming in for workouts, it may just be that the team is starting its data collection at the back end with more than a month to go before the annual event takes place in late July.
Having said all that, let’s take a look at the prospects mentioned by Grenham.
