Five 2020 draft-and-stash candidates for the Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics brought on seven rookies in 2019-20, and have as many as four incoming 2020 picks; here’s five players already overseas who might be draft-and-stash candidates.

But if he is, the Celtics should pounce, even if he doesn’t plan on getting stashed — his quick feet and fluid motion for a true 7-footer hints at a potentially lethal player with the right improvements to his game.

His incredibly slight frame is perhaps chief among them at just 201 pounds, but finishing, shooting, and defense also loom as areas to improve.
