NBA Eastern Conference: Most important need for each Atlantic Division team heading into the NBA Draft

Boston Celtics (Picks 14, 20, 22, 51)

Milwaukee Bucks v Boston Celtics - Game Four

Needs: Point guard

The Boston Celtics' entire offseason plans hinge on whether Kyrie Irving decides to stay or leave. The Celtics acquired Irving in 2017 in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers, hoping that he would make them firm favourites in the East, however, that's not quite panned out.

Brad Stevens' men ended 4th in the Eastern Conference standings and exited the playoffs at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Irving has been reluctant to commit his future to the franchise and the general consensus is that he is on his way out, possibly heading to the Brooklyn Nets.

This would leave the Celtics woefully short at the point guard position, despite Terry Rozier's occasional flashes of brilliance this past season.

Rozier averaged just 9 points and three assists per game through the regular season and the Celtics are likely to look at other options.

Boston have three first round picks (14, 20, 22) and a second round pick (51) and are likely to look at a whole variety of players on the night.

Their point guard needs could be fulfilled by one of Carsen Edwards or Jordan Bone. Edwards averaged 24 points and 4 assists per game for Purdue while Bone averaged 13 points and 6 assists for Tennessee.

Other realistic options for their first-round picks include Rui Hachimura, Brandon Clarke, Tyler Herro and PJ Washington.
