Celtics could be eyeing UConn champion Andre Jackson Jr. with pick #35
Here's an interview with UCONN wing Andre Jackson Jr. following his workout with the Indiana Pacers featuring Celtics legend Larry Bird among others from their front office. Jackson Jr. lists the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics as the only other two teams that he had workded out for (at that point).
The Celtics are lucky to have the 35th pick in this coming NBA draft. It originally belonged to Portland and it ended up much higher than one would have expected when the Celtics obtained it. If the Celtics retain the pick, this will be the highest that Brad Stevens has drafted.
