16. Boston Celtics
Pick: Domantas Sabonis, PF, Gonzaga
Considering their lackluster frontline, it’s safe to assume that the Boston Celtics will address their big depth with one of their 26 draft picks in this draft. At 16, the Celtics would get huge value by taking a player like Domantas Sabonis, who showed a lot of potential during his tenure at Gonzaga.
Sabonis has a lot of catching up to do on the offensive end, but his energy on both sides of the ball is everything that Brad Stevens looks for in his big men. He’d fit right in with the Celtics.
He won’t have to be an offensive force on the Celtics, and would get minutes based on his aggressiveness alone. At 16, he’d almost be a steal.
