18 | 7-1 | 225
Insider info: Power forward has long been a position of need for the Celtics, and it was abundantly clear in the playoffs that Jared Sullinger is not a solution because of his struggles defensively. Enter Bender, whom many feel has a huge upside in today’s NBA because of his defensive versatility, perimeter shooting and outstanding feel for the game.

Senior | 22 | 6-6, 223
Insider info: With Evan Turner entering free agency, the Celtics could be in the hunt for a versatile, high IQ wing in his mold. Valentine offers a lot of the same playmaking Turner does, but is a far better shooter, which may be attractive for a team that struggled from the perimeter at times last year. With five draft picks from the last two years on their roster, and many more potentially on the way, the Celtics might like the idea of adding someone who was arguably the most productive player in college basketball last season.

Ante Zizic | C | Cibona Zagreb, Adriatic League
19 | 6-11, 240
Insider info: With their third first-round pick, the Celtics could be looking for a player they can stash in Europe for another year or two to continue to develop. Zizic has tremendous size to go along with excellent hands, nice toughness and a budding skill level that could easily get him selected 10 spots higher had he waited another year to raise his prospect profile.
