Who is the best pick for the Boston Celtics at No. 35 overall in the second round of the 2023 NBA draft? Host of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast Bobby Manning breaks down big man Trayce Jackson-Davis, his favorite option for the Celtics to pick in the ’23 draft.
Jackson-Davis, of Indiana, put up a double-double and nearly three blocks per game while switching, scoring, and playmaking for the Hoosiers. He’s old at 23 years old and a bit undersized at 6-foot-9, but brings enough athleticism and length with him to make up for that and the lack of a functional jump shot as well, though shooting improvement would help improve his ceiling as an NBA prospect.
The Celtics’ selection on Thursday is just hours away, and if they keep their draft pick, they could do far worse than Jackson-Davis.
To hear more about why Manning thinks this is the guy for Boston, take a look at the clip embedded above.
