Celtics draft pick collection
By now, everyone should know the Celtics have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to future draft picks. They have amassed six (likely) first-rounders over the next two NBA drafts, including two for 2015, their own and the Clippers' selection.
Many of Boston's future first-round selections are protected picks, meaning their value is somewhat limited, at least for the next couple years. Other selections, like the Clippers' pick, are unprotected. Boston acquired the pick from the Clippers last summer as compensation for allowing Doc Rivers to break his contract with his team and head west. However, LA's pick wasn't expected to be worth much in terms of improving Boston's rebuilding prospects.
