Chad Ford seems to think so
Mickey is a great shot blocker. Just undersized. Never quite understood why NBA teams didn’t rank him higher. Celtics get rim protector.

Jordan Mickey is another 6’8″ power forward, but he’s not nailed to the ground. The kid can block shots and rebound. He gets up and he’s got a 7’2″wingspan.
Of course, you don’t go in the second round without flaws, and he’s got a few. He needs to get stronger and his offensive game needs a lot of work, but he’s definitely athletic enough to be a decent help defender and get out on the break to finish in transition. He’ll have an opportunity to develop in Boston.
