With the draft approaching, what are your thoughts?

[celticinorlando]

I hear all of this about trading up or trading picks for a vet...I honestly think that will not happen. I think they end up making all three picks with one being a draft and stash.

I know Ainge does not want 3 rookies on the roster...Maybe he packages them to move up but it seems the Cs 3 picks hold little value.

One of the 3 picks has to be a front court player IMO. I like Herro but it seems like they have more pressing needs now than a spot up shooter.

They need a PG esp if Rozier is not coming back.

Gotta think #14 is BPA, #20 is a swing for the fences, #22 is traded for an early second and a future second.

[Somebody]

Goga at #14 or bust. Aside from that no undersized bigs, small guards and wings who can't shoot please.

[Birdman]

Tyler Herro
Kabengele
Ty Jerome
Nic Claxton
Any of these 4 of our 3 picks i be happy

NO to
Bol Bol
Branden Clarke
Nassir Little

[celticinorlando]

Would be happy with any of these:

Clarke
Herro
Washington
Doumbouya

Don't want:

Bol Bol
Either Porter's
Horton Tucker

[gouki88]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker at 14, Goga Bitadze at 20, and maybe a guy like Darius Bazley at 22?

Jordan Bone at 51 if he's there. Not really too fussed, just swing on some physical freak if one's available or sell it.

I'm actually sort of optimistic about the draft. I think it's deep with solid guys who will be good bench players, similar to the Jae Crowder's and the Jarrett Jack's of the world. Hope we can hit

Wait, is there another Porter brother, or do you mean Kevin?

[footey]

Clarke at 14
Kabengele at 20
Jontay Porter or Edwards at 22

[Somebody]

No to Jontay Porter. Look at his family's injury history, it's not worth it. I'd only draft Michael Porter Jr in that family because he has legitimate All-NBA potential.

Kevin as well as J. Porter

Think the Spurs would select Bitadze at #19, from what I've heard they really want a big in this draft to back up Poetl and Aldridge.

[green_bballers13]

1) Shooter: Herro

2) Big: Hayes, Goga, Bruno

3) Ball handler: Trade up for Coby White/Garland

4) Trade at least one pick into the future.

Grr, of course they would. In that case I'd probably take him at 14, or try and sneak into the 18 slot. Annoying, because I have quite a few binkies in this draft, like Little, Kabengele and Grant Williams, but I can't have them all!

[footey]

Good article in today's Ringer about Kevin Porter, Jr.  Makes comparisons to Harden.  Suggests he has tools to play big PG role, which could be intriguing.

Haha yeah it sucks. But I'd happily take the BBA in Bitadze! (NOT Bachelor of Business Administration, Best Big Available)
