I’m down for that outcome please.

That would be a pretty good haul. Others falling would be even better, though.

Penda and Raynaud would be a nice haul, si vous plait.

However, after the last day and a half, I'm becoming more convinced that the Celtics will be doing something other than picking at #28 and #32.

I’ve done minimal research but I like him on the surface. Why avoid him?

One hour to go until the draft, more than enough time to craft an opinion from scratch on a player you've never heard of that you will never waver from.

Because of your Avatar I always assume you are well versed in all the details.

If Boston doesn't make any trades tonight with our 2 pics at 28 and 32, I do not want to see anybody but an upfront position.

Kalk, Raynaud, Fleming, Penda. D Powell..

I want 2 of those 5.. Of course this does not include someone who is supposed to go earlier and slides back..

I'm good for Fleming and q of those 1st 2 (preferably Renaud).

KOC on Yahoo has us taking him
Noceilings mock has us taking him
Sam Vecenie Athletic has us taking him
Wasserman at Bleacher Report has us taking him

Ryan Kalkbrenner is the leader on the board, looks like.

But Jeremy Woo/Givony at ESPN has us taking Max Raynaud

It's funny how these things seem to come into alignment. Clayton was nearly as universally mocked to Orlando at 25 as Flagg is at 1.

I don't really go off what mock boards predict after the first 5 picks.

I think Raynaud is going to go earlier than 28. He might turn out to be one of the best bigs in this draft.

Kalkbrenner is bad

return2glory · Post #518 » by **return2glory** » Wed Jun 25, 2025 11:24 pm

I want Boston to move up in the 1st round and take Maxime Raynaud. He might go between 16-24.
And one of Ryan Kalkbrenner/Broome/Yang at 32.

I said this in the Trade/Free agency post.
I think that Anferee gets Traded off the Celtics during the Draft. I definitely don't expect him to be on the Opening Night Roster. As, he's making way too much for a Bench Player.

I would be very happy if Boston did something similar to that.

I can't say it enough there are some really good players that we can draft. And this is the year we can really use them to develop them when we are not competing for a championship.
