with more and more draft posts I decided to take a look myself. I went to nbadraft.net and looked around http://nbadraft.net/2012mock_draft

and here are my initial thoughts for the celtics(using nbadraft.net as a guide)

1st round:
pick 17- PF/C Tyler Zeller (North carolina)
    He avereaged 16pts and 9 reb and he is 7ft 250lbs
    He is an athletic big with alot of hustle, which can do a lot for the aging celtics
     stats from espn: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/41465/tyler-zeller

pick 24- SG John Jenkins(vanderbilt)
    Averaged almost 20pts a game and is 6-4 215lbs 
    Shoots the 3 very well at 44% and could be a nice replacement for ray ray(hope ray stays next year and can teach him).

2nd round:
pick 40: C Robert Sacre(Gonzaga)
       11pts and 6 rebounds a game and is 7foot 260lbs
       He is a defensive big man who could play a good role for C's
stats: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/36392/robert-sacre

pick 47: sf Jae Crowder (Marquette)
         17 pts 6 rebounds a game and is 6'6" 235lbs
         He can score and would fit nicely behind paul pierce(with or without  jeff green)
stats: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/51394/jae-crowder


Notables: I do like austin rivers and think he could compliment ray allen but worry bout locker room atmosphere with father/son relation
-Also i like mason plumlee from duke and might think twice about Fab Melo who might become a true center

these our my NBA first looks, feel free to comment and rip them apart  ;D
