Possible Draft Day Candidates for the Celtics: Point Guards
The 2013 NBA Draft Lottery is right around the corner, and while it doesn't directly effect the Boston Celtics, it means that Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers will start to devise a game plan for June 27.

Jared Sullinger's recovery motivated by Simba from 'The Lion King'
CSNNE's Jessica Camerato wrote a piece yesterday about Jared Sullinger's recovery from back surgery. Sullinger's progress is on schedule, and he is expected to be ready for training camp next season.

Danny Ainge's history of drafting defensive studs, and who the Celtics may draft this year
In recent years, the Celtics have had their finger prints all over the All-Defensive team. Of course a lot of that has been courtesy of Kevin Garnett, who has been either first or second team defense in four of his six seasons with Boston.
