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

I say big

I want to say they will trade it but it wonder if that’s too complicated as it prob hasn’t even finished being traded yet.

At any rate, I’ll say Jaquez, TJD, Vucevic are the potential guys. Sleeper is Kobe Brown (hat tip to Hal on that).

My other pick is Colby Jones.

He's just outside of the top 25 on my personal big board. But he's a really good passer, good defender. Better shooter than Sidy, too. And Jones is an older prospect, more polished, less raw. More of a plug and play, ready to contribute guy than Cissoko.

But Cissoko, since he's younger, taller and more athletic, has a higher upside.

So here are my picks:

1) Sidy Cissoko
2) Colby Jones
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Wemby just admitted he's only 7'3". Who needs him when we have Porzingis at 7'3"

Spurs made a mistake. Calling it now. They should’ve traded the pick to Boston for the draft rights to Yam Madar.

For months I wanted Clowney and Walsh. Didn't realize I was Dean.
