No confirmation from the Celtics or the NBA yet that the trade is official.
In the meantime, this is how the options shook out for the Celtics as far as if they were drafting for themselves:
Al Horford went well ahead of the fifth pick, as expected, being chosen by Atlanta with the third pick.
Jeff Green, Yi Jianlian (sixth pick, Milwaukee), Corey Brewer (seventh pick, Minnesota), Brandan Wright (eighth pick, Charlotte), and Joakim Noah (ninth pick, Chicago) were all available to Boston.
Florida State’s Al Thornton, who Celtics director of basketball operations Danny Ainge said may be the second-best scorer in the draft, went 14th to the Los Angeles Clippers.
