Josh Jackson Doesn't Work Out for Celtics Tuesday, Still Hasn't Met with Boston

The Boston Celtics may draft Josh Jackson with the No. 3 pick, but they still haven't gotten an up-close look at the former Kansas star.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Jackson didn't work out for Boston on Tuesday as projected. He still hasn't met with team personnel ahead of Thursday's NBA draft.

The Celtics owned the No. 1 pick but dealt it to the Philadelphia 76ers for the No. 3 pick and a future first-rounder, per ESPN.

With Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball expected to go Nos. 1 and 2 overall, many project Boston to take either Jackson or Jayson Tatum. McMenamin reported Tatum already had a private workout with the team.

Although an up-close look at Jackson would help, it's also possible the Celtics have already decided. General manager Danny Ainge explained Monday that the No. 3 selection will likely be the player they would have taken at No. 1 anyway, per Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today.

Whether the team takes the high-scoring Tatum, the versatile Jackson or someone else, there will be plenty of risk regardless of predraft visits.
