More prospects workout for the Celtics this week

With just 17 days to go until the most anticipated NBA draft in 10 years, the Celtics are expanding their search beyond their sixth pick by working out as many potential fits as possible. According to every analyst under the sun, there are five NBA ready franchise level talents in this draft, which is great news for basketball fans. It's not great news for the Celtics because in a five-superstar draft, the Celtics are picking sixth.

To hedge all the bets, drive up interest in the squad, and think beyond June 26th 2014, the Celtics have been working out as many players as possible in hopes of finding a future building block for the most storied NBA franchise.
