Boston Celtics

Skal Labissiere was an extremely promising prospect in high school. Labissier had a deadly mid range jumper at a young age, now 7 feet tall, he has the tools to damage opponents in the NBA.  At Kentucky he didn’t at all live up to the hype, averaging 6.6 points per game as a freshman.

Teams that have dire needs to fill can’t afford to waste an early pick on a walking question mark, but a deep team like Boston can, and they will if he falls to #16. The Celtics have a drastic need to fill the front court; therefore, it works perfectly.
