For the third straight year, the Celtics will not have a first round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft due to packaging them in trades for Al Horford, Derrick White, and Malcolm Brogdon, which have proved to benefit the Celtics quite greatly.

In the 2023 NBA Draft, Boston is currently slotted with the 35th overall selection and can benefit from adding a wing and a center for both this upcoming season and the future. 

Here’s what some of the NBA insiders across the league believe the Celtics will do with the No. 35 overall draft selection.

ESPN: Jonathon Givony & Jeremy Woo

Tristan Vukcevic, Center, 20-years-old, 7-feet, Serbia

8.1 PPG, 3.2 REB, 1.0 AST, 14.9 MPG.

Bleacher Report: Jonathon Wasserman

Andre Jackson Jr. Wing, 21-years-old, 6-foot-6, UCONN

6.7 PPG, 6.2 REB, 4.7 AST, 29.1 MPG

Yahoo Sports: Krysten Peek

Terquavion Smith, Guard, 20-years-old, 6-foot-4, NC State

17.9 PPG, 3.6 REB, 4.1 AST, 33.6 MPG

The Athletic: Sam Vecenie

Bobi Klintman, Wing, 20-years-old, 6-foot-10, Wake Forest

5.3 PPG, 4.5 REB, 0.8 AST, 20.5 MPG

Tankathon:

Marcus Sasser, Guard, 22-years-old, Houston

16.8 PPG, 2.8 REB, 3.1 AST, 30.8 MPG. 

Sports Illustrated:

Sidy Cissoko, Guard, 19-years-old, 6-foot-8, G-League Ignite

11.6 PPG, 2.9 REB, 3.3 AST, 29.3 MPG 

In all, the Celtics will have some talent to sift through at No. 35. One name to keep in mind in the undrafted market will be Adama Sanogo out of UCONN.

The NBA Draft is June 22 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
