Celtics could target a big man in the draft

Wanted: Abnormally large human beings that can play basketball.

If I had a nickle for every time I wrote the words "rim protector" in the last year, well let's just say that my pockets would be very heavy and jingly.  The Celtics played guys like Jared Sullinger, Brandon Bass, and Kelly Olynyk at the position last year and the team as a whole had trouble keeping anyone and everyone out of the painted area.

So even though the Celtics have stated that they'll be drafting talent over need, it isn't a stretch to assume that they'll be looking long and hard at some of the talent that is of the 7 foot variety.
