#Celtics Austin Ainge reiterates serious talks about moving up won't occur until closer to draft night. — A. Sherrod Blakely (@SherrodbCSN) June 11, 2015
Austin Ainge:"I don’t think it's any secret that we have four picks & it probably wouldn’t be great for us to have four rookies on our team" — Adam Himmelsbach (@AdamHimmelsbach) June 11, 2015

The comment about not having four rookies is undoubtedly true.
