Celtics plan to work out Doug McDermott, Gary Harris and Nik Stauskas

Would Boston really use the sixth pick on Harris (14) or Stauskas (11)?

As we've discussed before, if the Celtics keep their #6 overall selection in all likelihood they will draft one of four players: Aaron Gordon, Julius Randle, Noah Vonleh or Marcus Smart.  According to The Boston Globe's Baxter Holmes, Boston isn't even going to bother bringing in the top four candidates:

Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Joel Embiid & Dante Exum all won't work out for Celtics. They all expect to be gone by the 6th overall pick.

Holmes also suggests the C's will take a look at some outside the box options for the sixth pick:

Lottery-caliber players that the Celtics plan to work out: Randle, Vonleh, Smart, Gordon, Harris, McDermott, Stauskas.

If Boston loves what they see in Michigan State guard Gary Harris, Creighton forward Doug McDermott, or Michigan sharpshooter Nik Stauskas, trading down in the draft could become a distinct possibility.  All three of those guys should still be around in the 9-11 range (and maybe even later), and it'd make a lot more sense to also get something else in return rather than just taking one of them at #6.
