Rumor: Celtics very open to moving up in the draft - Willie Cauley-Stein?

[TA9]

Well the title is pretty much self explanatory;

Two league sources told CSNNE.com Friday that the Boston Celtics are “very open” to moving up in next month’s NBA draft. And while the sources did not indicate which player Boston was targeting, there are growing signs that they have their sights set on trying to draft Kentucky big man Willie Cauley-Stein. CSNNE.com

I agree that Willie's hight is intriguing, but I'm honestly not that impressed with his game. He has gained a reputation of being a very good defensive player (which to some extent I agree), but it worried me a lot when I saw how Frank Kaminsky managed to push Willie around and drop 20 points and 11 rebounds.
With that being stated I still hope that he develops into a good player if we end up drafting him.
What is your impression of Willie?

Just thinking out loud, I wonder if the Celts use Avery Bradley as trade bait to move up in the draft and then go after Wes Matthews in the offseason to replace him.

I'd be fine with trading the 16, 33 and 45 to move up to the 10 for WCS.  If someone takes him higher than that or we give up enough to take him higher than that, brace for disappointment.  WCS projects out to be an effective but fairly limited player.

What if it is all a smokescreen and the Celtics aren't really that interested in WCS because Ainge projects him to be a sub-Perkins offensive threat?

Not exactly a resounding endorsement. If that's the case, I'd pass.

well, for what it's worth, Larry Bird thanks cauley-stein is $100,000,000 player.

WCS on his meeting w/ #Pacers: ?Larry (Bird) told me, ?I think you?re a $100 million dollar player.? I hear that and I?m like, ?Really?!??

WCS said that he will have a workout w/ the #Pacers in the near future.

WCS on #Pacers: ?They see me as a player in the five position & put Paul (George) at the four. Now I?ll have a mismatch??
