Draft Targets
Pick #10: Frank Kaminsky, Power Forward/Center, Wisconsin
It’s unfortunate for Boston that both Cauley-Stein and Turner are off the board here, as both would’ve been excellent fits for the Celtics given their need for a rim-protector. Kaminsky is the ultimate package, but it must be noted that since he’s a senior and a few years older than the freshman, his ceiling is considerably lower. Still, he could be a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year and will come in and make an instant impact. Averaging 18 points on 55% shooting from the field, 40% from three and 76% from the line, Kaminksy could be relied upon as a primary scorer even in the pros. Perhaps the best player in college right now, Kaminsky is also a great passer, defender, and rebounder – he just does it all. For a Celtics team that could use a guy with a 7’0” frame up front and is developing their young players fast, Kaminsky is more than just a consolation prize with Turner and Cauley-Stein already taken.
