Bates-Diop or Williams?

I'd go Williams. Worth the risk.

Source: Celtics still trying to acquire a second round pick. They would like to select a guard if they can get back in the draft.

7:23 PM - 21 Jun 2018

Makes perfect sense. Lot of intriguing names still out there and no 2nd rounders unfortunately at Ainge's disposal. Think he can purchase a pick?

Williams is a lottery-level talent, a player with immense talent. If he can show a commitment to playing hard, this could be a steal of the first-round. ESPN's @Mike_Schmitz compares him to another 27th overall pick: Clint Capela.

Mitchell! Lottery level talent at 27! Hopefully he becomes DJ 2.0!

Of course Capela was picked 25th.

Get ready for the next Fab Melo if we pick Williams.
Remember when Fab was predicted as a lotto guy and slipped? Oh. Wait.

Out of curiosity why do you see Fab over DeAndre Jordan? Asking because I didn’t watch a lot of A&M basketball

This is what you do with the 27th pick:  high upside.

Same concerns about DeAndre Jordan when he came out.
