NBA draft, who would you like for Celts to pick?

[Fencer reregistered]

The Nuggest are an exception it seems, Raptors too.

Nuggets picks are gold. Not only did Denver make some fine choices, but I believe Utah's two great later choices -- Gobert and Mitchell -- were on trade picks from Denver.

You get a +1 purely for the gold Nuggets pun.

Sadly, it was accidental.

R. Williams BBIQ is not low. He makes pretty good reads - he isn't Theis yet but its not low. He has been injured alot and is not a skilled outside shooter - that's holding him back.

Most of his mistakes are due to being a bit too overactive on O, and on D he gets caught ball-staring. Both things are easily correctable as he plays more minutes and matures.

As far as this draft, I'd love to come away Isaac Okoro or Killian Hayes. I also love Xavier Tillman - he's a good option for that Bucks pick or our own. If we are hellbent on a center, Okongwu seems like an obvious choice if available.

I know nobody wants to hear about more wings but I've been real keen on Okoro too.

Also love the potential of Josh Green. Doesn't look like Okungwu will be available but yeah he's a stud. I would trade the rest of the picks if it meant only moving up 3 spots to secure him.

Curious if Toppin slides due to age.

I bet Joe Burrow can shoot the 3

Paul Reed, from DePaul.
I'm thinking about our first rounder here, not the Memphis potential pick.

Tall enough, long armed with some versatility.
The outside shot is not pretty, so whether it translates I'm not sure, but he looks like a basketball player to me, and would suit a switching defence. And he's a four in our system I guess, at least unless he puts on muscle.

I'm all on board for this. He's my official draft binkie.

[Darth Celtic]

I believe in carpet bombing. Sure the higher the pick the better but with these late picks you swing for it as many times as you can because they will most likely fail, but if you hit on gobert and Butler late you are so golden.

Reed is legit and I'd gladly add him with that late first as a developmental pick. Lot to work with and he plays HARD.

As for more wings, if Hayward walks we have a gaping hole for like 30 MPG behind the Jays. We can't just presume he is back and a guy like Okoro can slot in as a low-usage energy guy early in his career next to the Jays.

Obi Toppen

Obi Toppen

It's going to depend where that Memphis pick drops. So hard to know whether we're picking 9 or 15.

[No-Man]

Pair two of the 1sts and trade up for Okongwu, who is going to go top10

Stash Carlos Alocén or Pokusevski with the other 1st

Draft a shooter in the 2nd to have as a 2-way, Saddiq Bey, Desmond Bane, Matthew Hurt, Tres Tinkle...

That's what I'd do, I am normally against trading up but in this class not many elite prospects are available and Onyeka fits perfectly with what Stevens likes to run, although I still believe in Robert Williams and they are somewhat similar

[Wes-J]

At this point no combination of 1st Rd picks gets us to Okongwu but would love to see it happen.

[big-shot-ROB]

Toppin would not be a bad option if our evaluators trust in his shot. He's a big body we could slot at the 4. It's true that this year he's gone from <1 3PTA to 2.6 and the % has dipped from 53 to 33, but he is been a consistent 70% FT shooter in college, so I belive he could be respectable at an NBA level from 3 (34-5%) to give us more offensive versatility.

Good call on Reed. The way he's going he may be in the lottery.

If we can just get Memphis to flatten out some there are going to be some good big man options. Wouldn't even touch Wiseman, think he's going to be a bust.

[Duke4life831]

I know it's early, but so what. It's looking like we are going to have, barring a trade, 3 firsts and 1 second. Waters will have a contract with the main team next tear, which will allow the 2nd rounder to go to a 2 way. If we keep all the picks, who would you like for us to pick? At this time we have the 15, 26, 30 and 46. I would like to see:

15 Carey 6'10 C from Duke
26 Nwora 6'8 SF from Louisville
30 Tillie 6'10 PF from Gonzaga
46 Azbukie 7'0 C rom Kansas

As you see I think we need some height. I don't have any confidence in Poirier, R. Williams is just 6'8, Theis is just 6'8, G. Williams is just 6'6 and Kanter may not even be here next season. I doubt we will keep all 3 firsts, but if we do the one I really want, and it pains me to say this being a Carolina fan, is Carey from Duke and Azbukie from Kansas. Trade the other 2 firsts to improve the bench if you can.

Vernon Carey in the 1st round let alone 15 would be horrible. He is a horrific PnR defender. Teams are getting 1.7 points per possession when they get Vernon in the PnR. He is good at defending low post bigs, but that is about it defensively. Vernon is a dinosaur big, his game doesn't translate to the NBA at all.

Unless that Memphis pick ends up around that 7-9 pick, I wouldnt get too attached to Halliburton. I dont think he drops out of the top 8.

If that Memphis pick is around the 10-13 area, Nico may still be around, he would be an ideal PG to run the 2nd unit. Super smart and has a reliable jumper.

I like Stewart much more than Carey. I like both Washington prospects tbh

I wouldnt take either big in the lotto, but yes I would take Stewart over Carey easily. I would take the risk on McDaniels over either big without hesitation as well.
