Considering that the Boston Celtics could own a potential top-five pick in the 2019 draft via the Kings, fans should pay attention to the upcoming class, which doesn’t seem nearly as top-heavy as the most recent one. Without further ado, here are five prospects that fans should keep an eye on.
R.J. Barrett
Barrett, fit with a complete offensive arsenal and high basketball IQ, comes into the summer of 2018 as the consensus #1 prospect. He may not be the most athletic prospect, but his fluidity and skill is elite.
Although it’s unlikely that the Celtics will be able to select the future star swingman, he would be a very good long-term fit alongside Irving, Tatum and Brown, as his offensive versatility would allow him to thrive in on-ball and off-ball situations.
