The key thing to note tonight is that if an alert doesn’t pop up when Portland drafts then our franchise dies a slow death for 8’ish years.

STAY POSITIVE EVERYBODY

I know there was an article about how we worked out Prosper and we're interested in him. I like Prosper and I know a few others like him as well.

But as I mentioned in my post above, we really need more passers/playmakers to put around the Jays and KP.

Prosper had a historically low assist % this season. He has pretty much no passing ability.

Sensabaugh is really good, and could be very good value if he's still there at 35. But he's a wing who's below average as a passer and as a defender so I don't love his fit here.

Give me Sidy.

I just hope they don't draft a player who is undersized for their position or poor defensively.

When CHA picks Miller in ~20-30 min or so, it's gonna be chaos!

Or shot under 30% in college from deep.

Yup I’m on the Cason Wallace band wagon as well.

Think he goes pretty high, though some rumors he might go 8 to Washington. Not sure if that’s changed after they traded all their players for 5 point guards.

Imagine that interview lol.

“So how’s it feel to be on the worst team in the league that also has nine players, six of which are PGs?”

Gradey Dick? Rick Astley?

Gimme Jaquez if they draft at 25. Team could use a strong four with good ball handling skills.

Trade the pick with a better developed player!

He is a little slow-footed. Decent at everything else though.

If Celtics keep the pick do they go big or small?

I say big

My rough preference at 25:

OMP
Clowney
Cason Wallace
Miller
Rayan
Lewis
Hawkins
Nnaji

Subject to wild mood swings and post-rationalization

Let's do this!

Do they even have the 25th pick? Yes or no?

Wallace would be real hard to pass up at 25. Think he goes 15-18. He is the guy I hope the Celtics trade up for tonight
