Let’s get you up to speed on the draft day trade rumors, workouts and mock drafts:

ESPN’s Chad Ford:

Later in the first round, the Celtics are trying to pick up a late-first or early-second-round pick. Sources say their target is Missouri’s Phil Pressey if they decide to go big with their first pick in the draft.

Phil Pressey is a 5-11 point guard out of Missouri. Here’s a scouting report. Old-timers like myself will recognize the name and yes, his father is former Bucks swingman Paul Pressey.

Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski:

In event Boston moves back from No. 16, Danny Ainge brought guard Ray McCallum to facility for workout on Wednesday, league sources tell Y!

Ray McCallum is a 6-2 point guard from Detroit. Here’s his scouting report.
