Luka Doncic is the reigning MVP of the Euroleague at 19 years old. The ringer, as well as Celtics blog, believe he should be the number 1 pick.
Here are some articles on his potential

I am asking if you think it is a possibility Ainge trades up for him. If Ainge thinks he is a superstar then why not?
You would have the same starting lineup of
Kyrie
Brown
Hayward
Tatum
Horford
With Doncic as your 6th man off the bench.
This helps us contend now while still building long term.
You get your young new big 3 of Brown, Doncic, and Tatum
Doncic can handle when Kyrie is on the bench.
It keeps us under the cap as it saves money instead of signing smart.
It also gives the Celtics a backup ball handler if Kyrie is seriously considering leaving. ( I don't think he is but better safe than sorry)
I'm not saying this is what the Celtics should do but perhaps examine this as a possible path.
