Re-doing The Athletic’s Orlando bubble expansion draft for Boston

The Athletic came up with an ‘expansion draft’ idea that has each of the 22 teams headed to Disney borrow a player from uninvited teams — this is our take on who the Celtics should take instead of Clint Capela.

The Athletic has Boston selecting 18th overall, with the following players off the board:

Stephen Curry; Trae Young; Karl-Anthony Towns; Draymond Green; Kevin Love; Mitchell Robinson; Zach LaVine; Lauri Markkanen; Otto Porter Jr.;  John Collins; Andrew Wiggins; Christian Wood; Luke Kennard; Devonte’ Graham; Malik Beasley; Miles Bridges.

What Boston does need is bench scoring and shooting, and to a lesser extent, some strength in the frontcourt to help defend the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers.

To that end, we’ve assembled five better options for the Celtics to take in this imaginary ‘expansion draft’ the Athletic has dreamed up.
