Two league sources told CSNNE.com Friday that the Boston Celtics are “very open” to moving up in next month’s NBA draft. And while the sources did not indicate which player Boston was targeting, there are growing signs that they have their sights set on trying to draft Kentucky big man Willie Cauley-Stein. Projected to be among the first 10 players selected, the Celtics would have to move up several spots from their current position - the 16th overall pick – in order to select the 7-foot center. Cauley-Stein was one of the first players the Celtics interviewed this week at the pre-draft combine. As much as players take this time to sell themselves to teams, the Celtics have made of point of making sure that players know as much about the Celtics franchise as possible. Needless to say, Cauley-Stein liked what he was hearing. “The organization, the way they’re running, they’re on a tight ship,” Cauley-Stein said when I asked him about his impressions of meeting the Celtics’ brass. “They got a lot of young guys, but a lot of young talented guys. To be that young and to be where they’re at is really amazing. You can tell that begins with the coaching staff. The players have to buy into it.” - See more at: http://www.csnne.com/boston-celtics/celtics-have-growing-interest-willie-cauley-stein
