The article talks about the Celtics needing rim protector.

Not sure why forwards are including in the mix.

Jones would be my Jones choice among the list. Because you will not have to use the Nets pick to get him. However I should state that I have not seen any potential draftees that fill the rim protection category.

He is not on the list But AJ Hammonds is the best center in college basketball.  I would take him.
