5 players the Celtics could take with their lone selection in the NBA Draft
Could Gonzaga guard Andrew Nembhard be a good fit on the Celtics?With the Celtics just wrapping up their season, it feels like the NBA Draft should still be a few weeks away.
The reality is, however, that it’s almost here. This year’s draft will take place on Thursday, June 23, at 8 p.m., and air on ESPN and ABC. The Celtics only have one pick, the No. 53 selection, and it’s entirely possible that they’ll either trade it away or draft and stash a player.
If they do opt to choose a player with the goal of having them contribute in the relatively near future, here are some options that could fit in well with the current pieces.
