Celtics "monitored" Dragan Bender

Another pf? We have 5....lets find a starting center and a starting sf first... simmons brown and ingramm should be our nets pick

Simmons I believe is more a PF. He has PF offense and PG playmaking skills. Think Blake Griffin (with slightly better handles) when CP3 was out.

I watched some video of Dragan and he looks like a taller version of Gallinari.  If he can add some muscle to his frame without sacrificing mobility, and also improve his jumpshot, he could be a real weapon in the NBA.

Porzingis is looking pretty good for the Knicks already (albeit in pre-season), so if the Celts can get a player similar to that in the draft next year via the Nets, that'd be great.

To those who say we already have a bunch of PFs: Yes, we do, but nobody who is a long term answer at the position.
