27. Boston Celtics: Rawle Alkins SG Arizona
The Boston Celtics are one of the best teams in the NBA. They obviously do not have a ton of needs especially with all their young talent. However, Marcus Smart is a free agent this year, and he probably gets bigger money somewhere that Boston isn’t willing to offer.
So with the 27th pick the Celtics are most likely looking for their best Marcus Smart replacement. Rawlee Alkins from Arizona is as good as it gets. He’s an intense tough nosed wing with a lot of muscle and takes pride on the defensive end of the floor. Alkins could also have some value attack closeouts and making plays in the lane. He’s not that fast, but has a really quick first step.
