The Boston Celtics have a plethora of options this off-season, and it all starts with the draft.

The Boston Celtics, like most teams, still have plenty of room for improvement. Unlike most teams however, the Celtics have enough cap space and draft options to address a lot of their weaknesses.

Big men should be the Celtics first priority.  Boston needs guys who can defend well as well as dominate the glass.

While Boston can stockpile big men with their three 2nd round picks, they can also package all three picks in a trade for an established PF or C.

Overall, the Boston Celtics will likely have a top 10 pick in next years draft (from Brooklyn) as well, which is loaded with forwards and centers.  In the meantime, here are four players the team should target in the draft.  Each player provides skills that could help provide quality depth on the current playoff-bound Celtics team.
