The Boston Celtics control the No. 35 pick of the 2023 NBA draft via a trade that gave them the second-round pick originally owned by the Portland Trail Blazers. If the Celtics don’t trade it away as part of some other team-building deal, they will likely use it on an older prospect in the hopes of finding some cheap depth for the team.
But there is always a chance they strike gold in the second round as the Denver Nuggets famously did with Nikola Jokic. And former Boston point guard Isaiah Thomas was picked with the last selection of his draft class.
