WALTHAM, Mass. – The Boston Celtics are scheduled to make just one phone call during Thursday night’s NBA Draft. However, in the meantime, the cell phone of Director of Player Personnel Austin Ainge will continue to ring off the hook.
Despite the fact that Boston owns only the 27th overall pick in the Draft and nothing more, Ainge and the rest of the Celtics’ scouting staff find themselves with their hands full during the days leading up to the biggest night of the offseason. Because they are preparing for anything to happen.
Boston could trade up in the Draft.
