Boston Celtics Rumors: 3 Players the Celtics Could Target With #6 Pick

The Celtics learned officially on Tuesday that they have the sixth overall pick in the 2014 Draft. They have another first round pick from Brooklyn - 17th overall, a product of the Pierce/Garnett trade. While the general consensus top three will be gone before Boston can touch them, there is certainly no shortage of talent in this year's draft pool. Check out who the Celtics are likely to target come June 26th.

1. Dante Exum, Guard, Australia

Though it's entirely plausible that Exum will have been swiped before the Celtics get their chance, if he's still on the board at number six, don't expect Boston to pass him up. The 6'6" guard from Melbourne, Australia first turned heads at the 2013 FIBA U19 world championships when his 33 points led Australia to take down heavily favored Spain in the quarterfinals. With Avery Bradley's future in question, adding some height at the guard position would be huge. Read more on Exum and see his highlights in our complete profile

2. Noah Vonleh, Forward, Indiana

Known for his aggressiveness on the boards, Vonleh led the Big Ten in rebounding during his freshman campaign. He's built for the paint, and at 18 years old, still has the potential to make massive strides both mentally and physically. Read up on Vonleh and watch some highlights in our complete profile

3. Aaron Gordon, Forward, Arizona

Gordon is capable of playing both the 3 and the 4 positions, versatility that coach Brad Stevens could use as a weapon. He has a wingspan of 7'0", and proved he has monster defensive upside while at Arizona. At 18 years old, the experience of Celtic veterans would undoubtedly ease his offensive transition.
