The Boston Celtics have spent the last few seasons dealing for, and stashing first-round picks in hopes to make a splash for talent. Whether that splash is a trade for a player of Anthony Davis’ caliber or cashing in on draft night for a future star, Celtic fans can expect to see some sort of spark this offseason. Thanks to the stellar play from the Clippers as of late, after most thought the team was headed for a rebuild, along with the Kings dropping in the standings, Boston is positioned to have multiple selections in this year’s draft.
Boston currently has four potential first-round picks with three likely to convey:
- Memphis Grizzlies (Top-8 Protected): Sixth overall
- Sacramento Kings (Top-1 Protected): 14th overall
- Los Angeles Clippers (Lottery Protected): 19th overall
- Boston Celtics (Own): 23rd overall
Having multiple picks in the same draft could help in trades as Boston could package, for example, the 14th, 19th & 23rd picks to move up into the top five.
