Celtics expected to draft SEC center Felix Okpara at 2026 NBA Draft

The Boston Celtics are predicted to select Tennessee center Felix Okpara with the 27th pick in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft. An analyst suggests this choice could help transform Boston's frontcourt, potentially complementing a roster that might include Giannis Antetokounmpo if a trade occurs. Okpara, who played four seasons of college basketball, averaged eight points and 6.3 rebounds in his final year. If drafted, he is expected to start as a rotational player and develop into a starting role in the following seasons.
