Paolo Banchero looks intriguing.

Big and powerful looking.

Very powerful but has all the skills to play perimeter positions in the modern NBA. He's halfway between Randle and Tobias Harris IMO. Or rather, that's how I project him
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Any Lotto pick should be used in a trade for KAT or whatever disgruntled star player is out there.
The only color that matters is GREEN

The way this Celtics season is starting, it seems like I’m going to pay a lot more attention to college basketball than I otherwise was going to.

Putting it out here — if we’re late lotto or in the teens, Moussa Diabate is a player I think will shoot up the draft boards once he’s in college.  I really don’t understand why he’s on hardly any of the mock drafts at this point, but that’s going to change.

I do not think we will not be a lotto team. Eventually injuries will happen elsewhere, teams will regress to the mean, etc. We also can't get any worse.

In a hypothetical where we do become a lotto team, I think you need to trade the pick to get a "third star" and try one last time with Brown and Tatum before moving one.

I think if we fall to the lottery not due to an injury from a star, the team will be too fractured to fix by acquiring such a player.  We're 7 games in and there's already a little public sniping -- there's no way that this level of performance can continue for 75 games and not rend things apart.
