SI mock draft has Celtics trading up, taking Cauley-Stein

We know Danny Ainge is considering moving up, down and sideways in the draft. But most experts don’t think the Cs have the assets to move up high enough to land a potential difference maker.

Until now. I give you Sports Illustrated:

WILLIE CAULEY-STEIN, C
KENTUCKY, JUNIOR | 7-0, 240

[Trade: Celtics acquire No. 6 pick from Kings in exchange for No. 16, No. 28 and No. 33 pick.] With Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins in place and having taken Nik Stauskas last season, the Kings could pass on a slew of top-notch wings and frontcourt types and deal the pick to a team like Boston in order to acquire more assets.
