The 2016 NBA Draft Lottery has come and gone, with the Boston Celtics landing at No. 3 overall. Who will they be considering with their top five selection?
The NBA Draft lottery has come and gone, and it is finally time for the Danny Ainge, Brad Stevens, and the Boston Celtics to capitalize on their July 2013 trade that brought them the No. 3 pick in this June’s NBA Draft.
