With so many teams operating at a comparative disadvantage to seasons where they have much more of a chance to see prospects play both in end-of-season tournaments and in person, front offices may simply default to the safer pick.
For that reason, players with doubts about their game like Mannion, or limited scouting like Barcelona’s Bolmaro, could be less likely options for many teams.

That the Celtics have three picks to work with may make them less risk-averse than some however, so Woo’s projections may fit such an outlook.
Mannion seems a stretch for Boston’s highest pick, and Bolmaro intrigues — but Oturu is the most likely to be drafted of the three he sees the Celtics interested in.
