With three first-round picks – and barring any deals to move one or a combination of them – the Celtics will have the ability to get creative at this point in the draft. And there’s still one intriguing prospect on the board that Boston should take a flier on.
That’s none other than Bol Bol, a dynamic 7-footer who has the ability to protect the rim while consistently hitting from 3-point range. It’s a unique skill that many teams are in the market for.
Bol could end up being the NBA’s next unicorn, or the league’s next big “what if” question. Either way, there’s really little-to-no risk for Boston to take a chance on him at No. 20.
