Celtics on CLNS

The Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves down 3-1 to the Golden State Warriors once again. This time however, the Cavs have Kevin Durant to deal with as well. NBA Finals ratings are up and may be the most watched in nearly 20 years. Boston Celtics assistant coach Micah Schrewsberry is considered a leading candidate for the open Butler head coach position.

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Miami Heat are going to be heavily involved in Gordon Hayward's likely free-agency and they are making Utah just as nervous as the Celtics with their Brad Stevens tie. Also, per the Sacramento Bee, Markelle Fultz may be working out for the Kings before the draft.

In this Roundtable episode, Matt Ignal, Evan Valenti, and Lucky's Pipe are once again joined by CelticsBlog writer Alex Kungu (@Kungu_NBA) to discuss if Markelle Fultz can be the #1 option on a championship team.

Projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft Markelle Fultz visits Boston Celtics for the first time and will work out for the team Tuesday morning. The Ohio State Buckeyes coaching search includes Brad Stevens on the wish list. Golden State took a 2-0 lead on Cleveland in the 2017 NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics have more than two weeks to decide on who they would like to choose as the franchise’s first No. 1 overall pick in the lottery era, yet the excitement and mystery of what amateur player the team will select, appears to be a foregone conclusion.

According to reports, Markelle Fultz will meet, workout, and undergo a physical with the Celtics on Monday and Tuesday.

Plus, Steve Kerr is expected to return to the sidelines to coach the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Kerr has missed considerable time dealing with complications from back surgery.
