Celtics Mock Draft: Henri Veesaar for Future Frontcourt

0:00It's April 29th, welcome to Boston Celtics News Today, AI Power Coverage of Your Squad. The Boston Celtics are all in on chasing another ring this season, but that hasn't stopped draft experts from projecting their future. In a new MOT draft for the 2026 NBA draft, USA Today's Brian Calbroski has them grabbing the 27th pick to select 7-foot, Center, and Revisar from North Carolina. Here this week, Calbroski highlighted Vsar's big jump after transferring from Arizona to North Carolina. The Estonian Big Man shines with smart shooting, efficient scoring inside, and from 3 plus solid rebounding and passing that could translate quick to the pros. Vsar's got three college seasons under his belt over four years, including a red shirt in 2023-2024. He played 97 games total, putting up 9.7 points and 5.1 rebounds, a game career wise, but exploded this year at North.

1:00Carolina was 17 points and 8.7 boards per game. For the Celtics, Vsar could slide right into their system, develop for a season on the NBA level, and then battle Nehemias Keta for that starting. Center spot down the line. While Boston eyes the playoffs now, this MOT draft plants a seed for versatile front core boost just a couple years out.
