Could Celtics target any European players in this year’s NBA draft?

Last year the Celtics drafted power forward Guerschon Yabusele of France as the No. 16 overall pick, therefore the possibility of a European player coming to Boston isn’t completely out of the question. Most of these desirable European players are projected to be selected late in the first round unless these players slip under the radar and are available come the Celtics’ No. 36 pick.

Here are some potential options.

Jonathan Jeanne
