NBA Draft Order: What Can the Boston Celtics Get with Their First Round Pick
The Boston Celtics did not have that bad of a series against the Miami Heat. In Games 4 and 5, they let the games slip away in the last couple minutes. Honestly, if the Celtics would have closed out games the way they seemingly always do, they would be up 3-2 heading back to Boston.
This was all with a one armed Rajon Rondo...
Age is an issue, but it's not as big of a weakness as we all may have expected. This Big Three still has another year in them. The Celtics need a better bench so the starters don't have to carry as much of a load.
Delonte West and Jeff Green should stay, but Glen Davis and Nenad Krstic need to go.
The Celtics need to add a center through free agency and find either an athletic shooting guard or power forward in the draft.
Here's the best five picks that could still be available at No. 25.
1. JaJuan Johnson- A true power forward who can score. Perfect to bring in for Kevin Garnett.
2. Kenneth Faried- The defense and rebounding would be perfect for the Celtics. Problem is, he wouldn't give much of an offensive boost.
3. Jordan Williams- A big body coming off the bench.
4. Chandler Parsons- Think Kyle Korver.
5. Malcolm Lee- This UCLA shooting guard could come in and play aggressive defense on Dwyane Wade in next year's playoffs.
