Share this: The Boston Celtics likely can cross Markelle Fultz off their wish list after trading the No. 1 overall pick to the Philadelphia 76ers, but in a draft that’s considered to have four or five top prospects, the C’s still have options at the No. 3 spot. One of those options is Josh Jackson, and after Boston made the big trade, it reportedly tried to set up a meeting with the former Kansas star. But that workout still hasn’t happened, sources told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin on Tuesday. Josh Jackson did not work out for the Celtics on Tues, multiple sources tell ESPN.

NBA Rumors: Celtics Were Concerned Markelle Fultz Wasn’t A Winner
Share this: Markelle Fultz is a remarkable talent on the basketball court, but is the likely No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft a winner?

Celtics Now Own Ridiculous Amount Of First-Round NBA Draft Picks
Share this: Danny Ainge continues to build his war chest of NBA draft picks. The Boston Celtics president of basketball operations reportedly agreed to trade the No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 draft, and a 2018 first-round pick from the Los Angeles Lakers with protections.
