The Boston Celtics are focusing on their 2026 NBA Draft selections. With the combine now complete, it should be easier to narrow down their candidate list. Boston currently has the No.
27 pick in the upcoming draft, suggesting it may not select a player who can contribute immediately. In his latest mock draft on Monday, Yahoo Sports' Kevin O'Connor projected that the Celtics will choose UConn's center, Tarris Reed Jr. "As good as Neemias Queta was all year, the Celtics clearly need to upgrade at center," O'Connor wrote.
"Maybe Reed could be that choice. Reed is a throwback center who played at his best on the biggest stage on UConn’s way to the national title game. He does all the dirty work inside the paint as a finisher, rebounder and shot-blocker.
