Celtics work out Marquese Chriss and Buddy Hield (who shot the lights out), date set to see Dragan Bender


The Celtics got a good look at two potential draftees on Monday, Marquese Chriss and Buddy Hield:


Boston also finalized a date to see Dragan Bender, who will only put his talents on display for three clubs:


Danny Ainge spoke to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe about yesterday's workout:

It went well. I would say there were no real surprises. Buddy Hield is a really good shooter and a hard-working, well-conditioned player. He's a great kid and a guy that's ready to step in and play. Very, very, impressive.

And Marquese Chriss is a young and very athletic player that has a lot of growth still to his game, but he has an enormous upside.

Hield apparently put on quite the shooting display, outdoing what the C's saw from Jamal Murray:


With Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram almost certain to go first and second in the June 23 draft (a week from Thursday), there appear to be six guys in play for Boston at No. 3:

Bender, Chriss, Hield, Murray, Jaylen Brown and Kris Dunn.

The Celtics have worked out four of the six, with a fifth, Bender, coming to town next week--Dunn is the only one they likely won't see.
