Boston Celtics
Brooklyn’s First-Round Pick
Even though the Boston Celtics aren’t exactly where they thought they’d be after signing Al Horford in the offseason, they still have perhaps the most sought after draft pick in all of basketball right now. Brooklyn’s first-round pick.
As we have already discussed, the Nets aren’t expected to win many games this season. Thus, their draft pick should be high – probably in the top 5, at least. However, their 2017 pick goes straight to Boston – it’s not protected at all. Now you can see why it’s considered, by some, as the team’s best asset. And with the expectation that this year’s draft is expected to be one of the strongest as of late, you’re going to want to have a high pick this season.
