Catching you up on the draft

21
Boston
Jared Sullinger 6-9 268 PF
Ohio State
This is a great pick for Boston. At this point the reward outweighs the risk. There are serious concerns about Sullinger’s back, but he’s the best low-post scorer in the draft. If he stays healthy, he’s the steal of the draft. — Chad Ford

22
Boston
(From L.A. Clippers via OKC)
Fab Melo 7-0 255 C
Syracuse
Melo is big. He’s blocks shots. He rebounds on the offensive glass. He’s a major project, but the Celtics were in desperate need of size. Don’t expect much offensively (though he will take and make an occasional 18-footer), but what they want is a little defense. — Chad Ford

23
Atlanta
John Jenkins 6-4 212 SG
Vanderbilt
24
Cleveland
(From L.A. Lakers)
Jared Cunningham 6-5 188 SG
Oregon State
