With the 2016 NBA draft on the immediate horizon, Boston Celtics President Danny Ainge and Director of Player Personnel Austin Ainge are Euro-touring. They made a stop in Zagreb, Croatia, among other places, and paid respects to an NBA legend:

They also stopped in Israel this weekend to evaluate top-5 projected draft pick Dragan Bender in a series of workouts through Monday.
The Celtics secured the No. 3 draft selection in the draft lottery in mid-May, and have serious intentions of picking the Croatian wunderkind, according to sources in Bender's camp.
