Celtics work out six more 2021 prospects including Miles McBride, Sharife Cooper

Boston seems to be raising the stakes in their pre-draft workouts in terms of prospect projections on Thursday.

The Boston Celtics upped the ante in terms of projected 2021 NBA draft stock in Thursday’s latest round of pre-draft workouts slated to meet with the team per reporting from Forbes Sports’ Chris Grenham.

Prior to today, virtually all the players invited by the Celtics to conduct pre-draft workouts with the team had been fringier players projected to be taken by teams in the middle of the second round to going undrafted, with many of them not hiring an agent to retain NCAA eligibility. The players from Thursday’s cohort of prospects are projected higher, from the mid-first round to the mid-second of this year’s draft.

Let’s review some basic information about each of the six prospects reported to be working out with Boston today.
