Celtics

Picks 3 through 5

OK, so if the Celtics don’t land the first pick (Greg Oden) or the second (Kevin Durant), then what?

It’s a bit early to tell which way Danny Ainge and Co. would go but here are the next three best prospects, according to the Globe’s Peter May:

Brandan Wright, PF, 6-9, 19, North Carolina
One season with the Tar Heels showed he’s a force near the basket. He was the only player in the ACC to shoot over 60 percent from the field.

Al Horford, PF, 6-10, 20, Florida
His NBA-ready body led the Gators to two national titles where he became known for his shot-blocking and rebounding as well as passing.
