Charlotte Hornets: 2019 NBA Mock Draft Vol. 1

No. 14 – Boston Celtics (VIA SAC):

Zachary Padmore – Bol Bol. (Oregon)

“Before the season, Bol Bol was projected to be a top five pick in the draft. However, a foot injury changed things and have hurt his draft stock.

The fear of potential injuries down the road are a legit concern, but Bol Bol is such an intriguing prospect that could still find his way into the back end of the lottery.

He has tremendous size at 7’2″ and he has a 7’8” wingspan. He can shoot the three-ball, take you off the dribble and hit turnaround jumpers, which is just scary for a guy his size. His potential is through the roof, and a team like Boston can take a risk like this.

Giovanni Spillman – Keldon Johnson. (Kentucky)

“This was a tough selection because the Celtics have so much talent on their roster, but at the 14th spot, I only see one player worthy of being taken.

Keldon Johnson would be a wonderful pickup for the Celtics at this spot. As a Kentucky alumni, he averaged 13.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. He also shot the basketball at 38 percent from three for his only college season.

While the Celtics starting unit is stacked, I feel that Johnson can be an excellent bench option for the Celtics and can eventually be a starter if the team decides to part ways with Jaylen Brown.”
