Brad Wanamaker will hit free agency this offseason. He might be back in Boston. He might take an offer elsewhere. There’s no guarantee of his interest or that the Celtics will fight hard to retain him, leaving open minutes behind Kemba Walker in the rotation.
The draft naturally provides a route for Boston to fill that gap. Names like Kira Lewis Jr., Cole Anthony, and Skylar Mays have been floated around as potential targets, though it’s hard to tell if the Celtics are enamored enough with any point guard to select them with one of their three first-round picks in the 2020 Draft.
