The Celtics have already seen Bender, a possible No. 3 pick, a number of times. During a scouting trip last month, Danny Ainge stopped in Israel to watch the big man go through a practice with his current team (Maccabi Tel Aviv) and an individual workout for the Boston brass.

Bender, 18, is also expected to work out for at least a couple of other teams in the top five. His professional season ended recently.
