WALTHAM -- The Boston Celtics got a closer look Wednesday at possible No. 3 overall draft pick Jaylen Brown when he worked out at the team's practice facility.

Brown, a wing out of California, participated in one of Boston's two four-man workouts Wednesday. The 6-foot-7, 223-pounder is widely considered one of the best prospects in the draft thanks to his elite size, athleticism and potential. More on Brown -- and his possible fit with the Celtics -- can be found here.

Asked directly about the audition, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said Brown looked "very good." That description might not be worth much; Ainge wasn't likely to badmouth any prospect to reporters.

"It was an excellent workout," Ainge said. "We had a lot of players in this morning - I don't know what our number's up to now, 40 or 50 (prospects who have worked out for the team)."

If the Celtics are any closer to deciding what they will do at No. 3, Ainge wasn't offering any hints.

"We're not sure yet," he said. "We're not sure of the answer because there are some 22-year-olds that are more ready to play than some 19-year-olds and we're looking at all of them. There's some foreign players and some American players and we're looking at all of the above. We're trying right now very hard and we're looking at trade possibilities, so I don't have an answer for you in regard to that. We're working every day to try to figure out what player we're going to draft, or what player we're going to trade for or how we are going to use those picks."
