Jackson vs Tatum - Who should the Celtics Draft?

[Higgs Boston]

I select the 3 option: Ainge is an incompetent, the pick is Fultz.

Jackson

If Ball is there, you take Ball.

If Ball isn't there, you take Isaac.

Was listening to the sport hub and they said if they could trade down to #5 they will draft Isaac, but if they staying at #3 it's either Josh Jackson or isaac

Also C's is in talk getting DJ from the clips he have 2 years left on his contract , we could get him and not give up premium assets

Tatum. Jackson replicates Brown too much and Tatum can be a 20 ppg scorer.

I won't complain if it's Isaac but he feels the most risky/least polished.

Isaac's a weird one. I think he has a high floor, but will take a while to get on the floor for real minutes and I don't feel great about projecting his offense beyond the 3rd/4th option level. Very young, though.

Brown and Jackson could turn out to the best future DUO defender in the league, all we need is one to turn out to be like Leonard, or both close to him we be all set , their potential is that high i think

And if they don't? Then you just traded Fultz for a role player or average starter and need to bank on the other pick hitting.

Isaac and then Tatum.

First fultz wasn't even going to be drafted by us #1 , wasnt danny guy, news was he wasnt going to draft him, they was banking for lakers to get balls and our guy will remain there at #3, philly need guards so that insure we will not need to draft a guard, how about if fultz become a bust? And the potential of Josh or Tatum or isaac is good?

How about if laker turn out to be #2 pick and we pick up #3 this year and #2 next year ? Every pick you make you hope they hit

Who would you draft harden or leonard?

If Ball is there, you take Ball.

If Ball isn't there, you take Isaac.

Don;t know which thread to put this in so here:

Either he can't pass or he won't pass..

Aren't Isaac's numbers on this topic worse than tatums when it comes to this?


Also, my only issue is Isaac's comp. He's an ultimate 6'11 3 and D guy. I don't think he has the shake a Rashard Lewis had. I also am a little wary of a 3 and D guy at #3 in this draft.

Jackson's size/wingspan does worry me a little bit. I wish he was bigger so I could confidently put him at a 4 position.

I think I have Tatum/Isaac/Jackson in that order but it's close.

I would take Tatum. He's going to be a solid starter in the league for years to come. He's probably pretty close to his ceiling though. The good thing is meshes well with the current roster. Jackson or Isaac (not both) will have a better career but I don't think either works with the current roster. I wish we could get into the late 1st round and grab Leaf or move up in the 2nd and grab Cam Oliver.

Thanks for mentioning Oliver aka "Space Cam." I live in Nevada now and have seen a fair share of Wolfpack games the past two years -- Cam Oliver is a STUD and probably the highest upside 2nd round pick in the draft

If we have to choose between only those two, I would take Jackson. I think Tatum is far too athletically limited for this early in the draft. If we stay at 3, I would take Fox, personally.

Jackson:

“OK, so the Celtics originally had the No. 1 pick, and me and my agent, we talked and we just didn’t feel like they had much interest in drafting me at No. 1,” Jackson said. “So we felt like it would be sort of a waste of a time for the both of us for me to go out and work out, and they’re really not considering drafting me. But after they got the third pick, we tried to schedule something for me to get out there, but it was just scheduling issues and it was just a little too late for me to get out there by then.

Tatum:

“I was surprised, because they had the No. 1 pick. But they know more than I do, so when they called me for a workout, I was, ‘Sure.’ I was excited.”

To my knowledge, there are zero reports or accusations of him doing so.

Maybe Armstrong is just a cheapskate who doesn't want to pay for any more trips than he absolutely has to.
