Rumors link Celtics to draft prospect Bamba
The Celtics reportedly have their eyes on draft prospect Mohamed Bamba.
Multiple reports stated that Boston is interested in trading up in the NBA Draft in order to select the 7-foot-1 center.
Bamba, whose 7-foot-10 wingspan would be an NBA record, is projected to be selected in the top ten of the draft and the Celtics would very likely have to move up from their current position of 27th overall.
