The Boston Celtics traded down for the second and third time on draft night, this time agreeing to terms with the Charlotte Hornets and Sacramento Kings.
After swapping the No. 25 pick, which initially came from the Memphis Grizzlies in part with the Kristaps Porzingis trade, the Celtics elected to trade down yet again. The Celtics took their No. 31 selection from the Detroit Pistons and used it to acquire the No. 34 and No. 39 selections from the Hornets, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
With the trade, the Hornets landed James Nnaji, who played professionally for FC Barcelona in the EuroLeague.
