At 14, the Boston Celtics have their first of three picks in the first round. There’s no question that the Celtics would like to move one or a combination of them, but for the sake of this article let’s say they retain this selection.

If so, Brandon Clarke makes sense for a team that could be in the market for a big man this summer, depending on what happens in free agency and on. Clarke has some holes in his offensive game but is one of the most athletic freaks available on the board.

If nothing else, Clarke will give the Celtics superb athleticism on the open floor and on the defensive end.
