The one thing about Brad generally: he has an amazing track record of success and character, but is also rather steady & predictable and likes racking up singles in preference to taking big swings.
If Brad did something really dramatic -- like a Kasparas/Yang draft -- that'd be out of character and it'd also make for a really fun night

I hope Brad can swing a package at the draft to trade up and get Kasparas Jakucionis, yet still have an early/mid 2nd and grab Yang. That would be a very unexpected "international' draft.
All things considered, I think the players in the current draft will have very little impact in the first year for the Celtics. The big news is the aprons and lux tax, then what the current contracts will bring back and who will stay.
A sneaky Kasparas/Yang draft would certainly make for some intrigue and fan fun in summer league and camp, but neither of these guys would likely contribute much since the Celtics are going to want to stay relevant next year. But for those new guys, Walsh, Scheierman, Queta and whoever else is still standing from the young bench, it's an opportunity year to learn and prepare for the next big push when tatum returns.
