The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie and Jared Weiss have continued their review of prospects they believe the Boston Celtics should be interested in this week.
Shifting from players who ought to be in range of the pick owed them by the Memphis Grizzlies — currently slotted 17th overall — to the picks Boston controls later in the first round, Weiss and Vecenie continued their assessment of late first-round prospects.
Those picks, the Celtics’ own (likely 26th overall) and the first owed them by the Milwaukee Bucks (No. 30 if current standings hold), may not even be used by Boston, instead packaged to move up or out of the 2020 draft.
