Boston Celtics consider Alex Karaban for forward position in draft
Summary

The Boston Celtics may target forward Alex Karaban during the upcoming NBA Draft. Current roster depth at forward is uncertain, as potential changes loom with Jordan Walsh's team option and trade rumors surrounding Sam Hauser. Karaban, a 6-foot-8 senior from UConn, averaged 13.2 points and 5.3 rebounds this past season. His skill set aligns with the Celtics' recent draft strategy. Adding Karaban could enhance the Celtics' rotation from the start of the season.
