It’s a much different draft season this year for the Boston Celtics than usual. As opposed to picking (sometimes twice) in the first round of the NBA Draft, the Cs will have to wait until the #45 pick in the second round.
The trade that sent Kemba Walker to Oklahoma City in exchange for Al Horford and Moses Brown cost them their first-round pick this year. It will be the Thunder that will be selecting in the C’s #16 slot, earned by making the postseason as the #7 seed in the Eastern Conference.
