WALTHAM, Mass. — The Boston Celtics invited another six NBA prospects Friday for the team’s fourth round of pre-draft workouts.
This latest group featured no blue-chippers, as Wisconsin-Green Bay point guard Keifer Sykes (No. 80) was the only one of the six ranked on DraftExpress’ Top 100 Prospects list. Sykes was a two-time Horizon League Player of the Year and averaged 18.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game as a senior with the Phoenix.
Two players with New England ties — Northeastern forward Scott Eatherton and West Roxbury, Mass., native Gerard Coleman — were among the invitees. Coleman spent time at Providence College and Gonzaga before playing his senior season at Georgetown College, an NAIA school in Kentucky.
Eatherton collected a team-high 18 points and eight rebounds in the Huskies’ near upset of Notre Dame in the second round of this year’s NCAA Tournament.
Rounding out the session were Eastern Kentucky guard Corey Walden, SMU center Yanick Moreira and Michigan State guard Travis Trice, the scoring and assists leader on a Spartans team that lost to Duke in the Final Four.
