THE HELL WITH THOSE OTHER TEAMS: AINGE HUNKERS DOWN FOR THE DRAFT

In what projects as the best draft in years, Markelle Fultz is considered the most likely player to carry his stardom onto the next level. One league scout, when asked about the athletic and long Jackson and how he compares to Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown, said, “Better.”

Compatibility factor — The Celtics have determined that Fultz can play next to Isaiah Thomas. Josh Jackson is one of those multiple-position players that Brad Stevens loves.

Chance this actually happens — Better than you think.
