Five bigs for the Boston Celtics to watch from the 2021 NBA Draft

It might be too early for some, but the 2021 NBA Draft has intriguing prospects galore – here are 5 bigs the Boston Celtics should watch.

No. 3 – Amar Sylla, Oostende

A wiry 6-foot-9 forward with solid rim protecting skills and an extant if raw jumper with an odd finish, Sylla is also very mobile defensively and possesses good footwork for his size and age — just 18.

The Senegalese big man likely would have been drafted this draft, but elected to stay for one more season of overseas play to improve his stock. He recorded 14.8 points and 10.3 rebounds per 40 minutes at the U19 World Cup in 2019.
