New mock draft sees Boston Celtics take a shooter, a big and a stash

A new mock draft from the folks at NBC Boston Sports has some solid prospects lined up for the Celtics in the 2020 NBA Draft.

No. 14 (via the Memphis Grizzlies): Aaron Nesmith – wing – Vanderbilt

While there’s a very real possibility the Celtics trade up or even out of this draft, should they use their No. 14 pick secured in the deal that sent Jeff Green to the Griz in 2015, a shooter ought to be high on their list.

And for Blakeley, that would be Aaron Nesmith of Vanderbilt, a flamethrower from 3 who hit a ridiculous 52.2% of his treys at a sizzling pace of 8.2 attempts per game last season. While there’s no guarantee his shooting will translate, Nesmith is a very worthy prospect for Boston’s 14th pick.
