Since the Boston Celtics made it into the playoffs this past season, they wont be eligible for the 2015 NBA Draft lottery. This isn't the end of the world though. The Minnesota Timberwolves owe the Boston Celtics a protected 2016 first-round pick from Minnesota because they traded forward Brandan Wright to the Phoenix Suns. The Celtics receive their pick if the Timberwolves fall past No. 12 in the 2016 draft. If Minnesota has another poor season and gets a top 12 pick next season , the Celtics would receive the Wolves’ 2016 second-round pick and 2017 second-round pick.
Honestly, the Celtics want Minnesota to succeed next season. The Timberwolves had the worst record in the league (16-66) last season, so they have the best chance to land the No. 1 overall pick in Tuesday’s lottery, at 25 percent. With NBA Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins and other promising young players on the roster, the future looks bright for Minnesota.
