Since the 2014 draft, five out six of the Celtics selections have been guards – the lone big man being Jordan Mickey. The Boston Celtics also traded for all-star Isaiah Thomas at the deadline last season, giving them their sixth new guard. While depth has been the key to success for Boston this season, will having all these guards cause problems in the future?
With all the guards they have selected it seems ridiculous to think that they could be targeting another one in the first round this season. However, with the lack of a spot-up shooter, drafting their fifth guard in the first round since 2014 seems likely.
