After Ben Simmons went to the 76ers and Brandon Ingram went to the Los Angeles Lakers, the intrigue began at the 2016 NBA Draft. Would the Celtics trade their pick? If not, who would they choose to put with their blossoming team?
The Celtics decide to go the surprise route by picking small forward Jaylen Brown of Cal. Brown averaged 14.6 ppg, 5.4 rpg and 2.0 assists in his only year with Cal.
