Barring a trade, the Boston Celtics are set to make the 27th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, aiming to replicate their successful 2018 selection of Robert Williams. One potential target is Tarris Reed Jr., a 6’10” center from UConn, known for his rebounding and rim protection skills. Reed has demonstrated impressive offensive abilities, particularly as a screener and passer, while concerns about his age and offensive versatility may be outweighed by his physicality and intelligence. His fit with Boston hinges on his ability to contribute effectively without needing significant touches.
