The 2016 NBA Draft is set for 7 p.m. tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York and the Boston Celtics have 8 total draft picks, three of which come in the first round. 

Boston's first pick comes at number three where rumors have been flying all week. Some projections ( like the one below) have Boston drafting Dragan Bender with the third pick while others have them taking Kris Dunn. 

Reports came out early int he week that the Celtics were talking to Philly about a trade involving the 3rd pick and Jahlil Okafor as the 76ers are interested in Dunn and have a bit of a log jam at the forward position. 

Celtics Needs 

The Celtics need three-point shooting and a forward presence either in the draft or by trade. 

GoLocal teams with Graphiq to show the Celtics relevant stats from this past season. We also look at the Celtics salary cap situation.
