Hal’s Draft Thread

Interesting. Apparently this dude took a bunch of different mock drafts to come up with the consensus mock draft:

So the guys in those first 4 tiers will probably be gone by 45..

Seems pretty close to being right. Definitely think top 3 tiers will be gone. Could see some in tier 4 dropping and some in tier 5 rising.

the players I'm starting to focus on are:

Joe Wieskamp (could see rising)
Herb Jones (could see rising)
Jeremiah Robinson Earl (could see dropping)
Kessler Edwards (could see dropping)
Isaiah Livers (think will be there)
Austin Reaves (think will be there)
Jericho Sims (think will be there)

Two of these guys (Sims, and Robinson-Earl) are included in Adam Spinella's 6 biggest draft sleepers (video at link). One of the players, Mitch Ballock, a 6'5" guard from Creighton, isn't even on the undrafted tier. He's a three point shooting specialist that has extreme range. The other players are Miles McBride, Isaiah Todd, and Neemias Queta.

Sims and Queta have a good chance of being there at #45, and I would be happy with either. If Jeremiah Robinson-Earl dropped that far, it would be nice. In any case, further evidence that this is a deep draft.

Lamelo Lite anyone? Has got good size too that would allow him to play with Pritchard or another PG.

I posted about him some time back. I really like him a lot, and would be pleased if the Celtics went for him. I don't see that happening given that they have Yam Madar in the wings, but you never know. Having several good players filling one position is a luxury that is also a trade advantage.

I Love a pass first PG with some size and shooting. would make for a nice fit with the Js. Only problem is he is in my same tier or slightly below other players with a bigger positional need.

as I said about other players, any other year he might be a steal at 45..

Todd and Daishen Nix, are projected to go in the 2nd Round.
I think that they shoud both wait a year.

Or we snatch one and they can play in Maine.

I'd be happy with either.

I'd take him if he goes undrafted. Him and Madar could easily take Edwards and Waters' spots. And if one of them breaks out, I'd even be open to moving Pritchard (who would have some decent value).

just read some where, that he may be a riser in the draft. may be long gone at 45

More proof this draft is all over the place, normally a decent mocker, CBS sports now has Brandon Boston going 9 to Sac and Gregg Brown going 14 to GS.

amongst others.

Yeah CBS has been getting wacky with their mocks. They posted one recently where Robinson-Earl went no. 9 to the kings lol

Crazy! Almost as if they randomly shuffled the board! It does go to show that there is a great deal of depth in this draft. If we keep pick 45 (and I hope we do) we might get a decent player. If the management's thinking is that we don't need any more young players right now, we should use the pick as a draft and stash. Like this guy...

A wacky draft favors the Celtics, especially if Stevens can move up into the early second round.

I would like to think that the Celtics are considering the possibility of moving up in the draft. Both the Pelicans and the Thunder have more than one pick in the second round. The Thunder also have three picks in round one. Perhaps we could strike a deal with one of them? Would cash do it for a second round pick? I don't see us adding a first round pick.
