Yesterday, ESPN Insider published a conversation between Chad Ford and Kevin Pelton regarding the immediate future of the Knicks and Nets, neither of which own their own first round draft picks next year. A significant portion of the discussion ended up being about the Celtics, here are the highlights.
Ford on guys likely to be drafted around No. 5:
Duke's Brandon Ingram is a 6-10 small forward with a silky game. He's skinny, but he's got elite size and skill set for his position. San Diego State's Malik Pope is very similar to Ingram.
