Celtics #27 draft pick - Pt. 6 - buying into 2nd round makes sense

The Celtics currently do not own a second-round pick in the upcoming NBA draft, but buying one, particularly in the early portion of round two may pay dividends. There are a number of players that could remain on the board by the end of the first round that could have real value for a team looking for effective role players.

Boston was able to draft Semi Ojeleye in the second round of the 2017 draft with pick #37 overall. Ojeleye was originally projected to be drafted in the first round, and Danny Ainge did not hesitate a bit when he was still available at #37.
