When it comes to the ranking of NBA teams based on their future draft assets, the Boston Celtics are surprisingly well off for a contending ball club according to a recent analysis by Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus. Per the B/R analyst, the Celtics are “an oddity as a contender that also has a rich list of draft assets.”
“Outside of a pick swap to San Antonio in 2028 (with slight protection), the Celtics have all of their own firsts,” he adds. “The team also added one from the Golden State Warriors in 2024 in the Marcus Smart swap, bringing in Kristaps Porzingis.”
