CLAB 17: The longest season over, we look at the strangest draft

With the longest season in league history behind us, the Boston Celtics and rest of the NBA turn their attention to the 2020 draft, sure to be among the most unusual ever held as well.

With the pandemic hiatus changing how the combine works and our usual channels of gathering intelligence impinged upon in order to safeguard the health of a new cohort of prospects and league personnelle alike, getting a read on what players may end up where has never been a greater challenge.

Luckily for us at the Celtics Wire, we’ve got access to the team at Rookie Wire, and to that end we borrowed one of the main minds behind their 2020 draft coverage, Bryan Kalbrosky.

We break down the various draft strategies the Celtics might take, whether picking where they stand or trading up in a variety of scenarios, diving into a host of popular Boston pick projections — and some sleepers who might surprise.

This is one of the more informative pods out there on what the Celtics might be after, so be sure to check it out if the draft is a mystery — or a beacon.
