Bleacher Report: Three ideal draft picks for the Celtics at No. 45

In years past, the Boston Celtics seemed to always have a stash of draft picks in their arsenal from trades made by former president of basketball operations Danny Ainge.

This year looks to be a little different for Boston. The Celtics currently find themselves with only one draft pick in the 2021 NBA draft, in the second round at No. 45.

Notable selections at No. 45 in NBA history are 13-year veteran Antonio Davis in 1990, Goran Dragic of the Miami Heat in 2008, Dwight Powell of the Dallas Mavericks (selected by the Celtics) in 2014, and Dillon Brooks of the Memphis Grizzlies in 2017.

If the Celtics get their hands on a player like the ones listed above with the 45th pick, that would mark the 2021 NBA draft as a success.

Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report recently listed three potential candidates for the Celtics to draft at No. 45.
