Should the Boston Celtics try to draft Creighton big man Ryan Kalkbrenner? Should the Boston Celtics try to draft Creighton big man Ryan Kalkbrenner? The Celtics will head into the 2025 NBA draft armed with the Nos. 28 and 32 picks in the first and second round respectively, and there is a chance that Kalkbrenner might be in striking range for Boston when they select.

But is the Creighton center the right man for the job?

Sherrod Blakely and John Zannis debated such a deal and its merits on a recent episode of their show. Check it out below!

How can the Boston Celtics build back to a sustainable model like the OKC Thunder?
How can the Boston Celtics build back to a sustainable model like the OKC Thunder? How can the Boston Celtics build back to a sustainable model like the Oklahoma City Thunder? In this cap environment, the Thunder are uniquely poised to contend despite the punitive second apron restrictions currently pushing the Celtics to shed salary.
