No. 30 overall – Jalen Smith – center – Maryland
Smith is an ideal option for the Celtics in this range if still on the board, as he is an excellent defender who can protect the rim and rebound at a high clip (10.5 per game in his last season with the Terrapins).
Even more intriguing is his 3-point shot, which he connects with 36.8 % of the time and launches often at 4.8 per contest.
He may well be off the board by this late in the draft, but he’d be a defensible pick at anywhere Boston could nab him.
