An Iowa State Cyclones star ends up with the Boston Celtics in a latest NBA mock draft.

Karaban is older at 23, but seasoned and ready to contribute at the NBA level.

The Celtics have been in all the rumors since losing to the 76ers, but it appears one of their main rivals is actually set to land the biggest fish in the pond.

Antetokounmpo has been most linked to the Miami Heat, but he reportedly has some concerns about their roster post-trade.

The Celtics will have about $180 million in guaranteed money to enter the offseason so they will have full access to the non-taxpayer mid-level exception ($15 million) and bi-annual exception ($5.4 million).

Mannix will share the honor with Toronto Raptors equipment manager Curtis Andrade.
