The Boston Celtics are loaded when it comes to first-round picks in the 2019 NBA Draft.
The C's could have as many as four picks in the first round of June's draft, but it's more likely they'll have three to work with, including one lottery selection via the Sacramento Kings.
It's entirely possible the Celtics don't use all of these picks, especially if they're active in the trade market after the 2018-19 season. Still, you can expect the Celtics' staff to be closely monitoring the NCAA Tournament, which begins Thursday. You can learn a lot about these young players in March Madness because for many of them it's their first exposure to a playoff-like atmoshere on a marquee stage.
With that in mind, let's take a look at which players experts expect the Celtics to target in Round 1.
