## Resource

Even after a tough season and an early playoff exit, the Boston Celtics used their 27th pick to snag Chris Cenac Jr. from Houston, then added Dillon Mitchell from St. John’s — proving their late-draft strategy is about finding overlooked gems with the right mindset, not just star power. Assistant GM Dave Lewin explains they prioritize team-first players who thrive without the ball, citing past successes like Baylor Scheierman and Payton Pritchard. The Celtics’ deep scouting process — involving Brad Stevens and extensive interviews with coaches and mentors — ensures they’re not just drafting talent, but players built for their culture and ready to contribute in any role.
