Austin Ainge on draft: “need is a bad evaluator”

Armed with a trio of first-round picks (No. 14, 26 and 30) in the upcoming draft, the Boston Celtics have been a prime candidate to package those picks in an effort to move up into the top-10.

We now have an idea who such a pursuit might be for. According to Heavy.com’s Sean Deveney, “the Celtics have been enamored with Auburn wing Isaac Okoro all year and would target him if they move up and he is on the board.” Okoro is a lanky wing defender whose defensive switchability would do wonders for plenty of teams.
