Marquese Chriss Moves Up To Celtics At No. 3 In Latest DX Mock 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jun 1, 2016 3:53 pm

Draft Express has moved Marquese Chriss up to the Boston Celtics with the third overall pick in their latest mock draft.


Chriss spent one season at Washington averaging 20.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per 36 minutes with a PER of 20.4.


Chriss is one of the best athletes in the draft with tremendous upside.

Isaiah probably tipped them off. Udub vibe.
I think the Celtics can afford to be a little risky in this draft.

Would a fantastic pick. Chriss is easily a top 5 talent. Bender just doesn't seem like a good pick to me.

It's not like Bender doesn't have a lot of upside either.

Yeah, I'm sure the analytics experts at Draft Express made a change to their rankings because of something an alumni said.

I don't see much more than Jeff Green in this guy. Maybe a more athletic version.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Frankly.....Hield is the right pick. Boston has Isaiah, Sullinger, a few tall centers, Crowder. They need a dude that can really light the scoreboard. Hield is the road tested shoot + score guy.
CENSORED... No comment.
