5 early mocks projecting the Celtics’ picks for the 2019 NBA Draft
The experts see a range of options for Boston's three first-round picks.
The NBA draft lottery was held on Tuesday night, with the Pelicans receiving the No. 1 pick despite having only a six percent chance.

If Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge decides to keep all of the picks, here’s who Boston is projected to take according to the first mock drafts since the lottery.
