A week after departing the pre-draft camp in Chicago, the Celtics' band of traveling talent-testers will be in New Jersey today to check out a 6-foot-9 forward from Ukraine.

Viktor Khryapa, a 20-year-old who played for CSKA in Moscow last season, will work out for the Celtics, Knicks, Spurs and Nets. Director of hoop operations Danny Ainge will lead a Boston contingent expected to include Jim O'Brien, Leo Papile and Chris Wallace.

``(Khryapa) had some visa problems, so he's had a tough time getting scheduled for workouts,'' said Ainge. ``But he's a guy we definitely want to see. He's a real possibility for us.''

Khryapa has most often been compared to Utah's Andrei Kirilenko. He's said to be a good athlete who can play both power forward and small forward.
