The Boston Celtics enter the 2025 NBA Draft with picks No. 28 and 32. As the franchise prepares for the two-day event that starts Jun. 25, they've welcomed numerous prospects to the Auerbach Center.
As the team's president of basketball operations, Brad Stevens, noted at his end-of-season press conference, the reason for bringing in or meeting with players varies.
"So, the way that this works is we can rank who we want to talk to," said Stevens. "The people we know we can't get into work out is how we decide who we want to talk to at the combine. Otherwise, we might not ever get to talk to them again. The only people that'll come in and work out are people who think they're in our range or in the bottom of our range."
Thanks to HoopsHype, as the Celtics continue to perform their due diligence, Hardwood Houdini is tracking the players they're bringing in for workouts.
Hardwood Houdini has also profiled a lengthy list of prospects projected to go in Boston's draft range. If those players are on the list of individuals the Celtics have worked out, one can click their name to pull up their scouting report.
Those evaluations account for dream scenarios, such as Cedric Coward from Washington State, who Boston worked out, being available. It also goes for Colorado State's Nique Clifford and Georgetown's Thomas Sorber remaining on the board.
There are also more realistic targets, a cluster that includes Saint Joseph's Rasheer Fleming, Stanford center Maxime Raynaud, a former teammate of San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, and Arkansas's Adou Thiero.
There are even profiles on prospects projected to hear their name get called in the second round or go undrafted. That includes former Alabama center and Nigerian native Clifford Omoruyi, who the Celtics worked out. The same goes for former Duke Blue Devil sharpshooting guard Tyrese Proctor.
It's also worth understanding how narrow the gap is between many of these prospects, even those on the high end of this draft range.
Tim Connelly, the Minnesota Timberwolves' president of basketball operations, conveyed that their team doesn't see much separation between players in the range of 17 to 31. That intel comes from Dane Moore, who covers the Timberwolves and hosts the Dane Moore NBA Podcast.
Without further ado, here's the running tally, updated daily, of who the Celtics are bringing in for draft workouts.
