How was your scouting in the past three drafts?

[Future Celtics Owner]

Scouting or who you wanted the Celts to take on draft day? I believe scouting to be following draft classes2-3 years in advance of draft, which is especially hard and opens you up to criticism, but thats the process for pro scouts...minimum 2-3, and then they bring in college scouts that have scouted the kid since 5th grade sometimes.

As far as picking a player to do well in college,and be selected high, and then have a NBA career; that's a lot. But I'll list the guys in which you saw me continously post about years before they played a college game:
Anthony Davis- Jr year of hs I saw enough
Noah Vonleh- jr year of hs
Joel embiid- sr year of hs
Karl Towns- jr year of hs
Okafor- jr year of hs
Myles Turner- Jr year of hs
Simmons- soph year of hs
Ingram- jr year of hs
I'll list some future picks that I listed 1-2 years ago, but its hard to write who I thought would be :1)a great college player2)get selected in lottery, first round, top5, top3, top pick3) who I thought would be a good or great NBA player....I think those are the 3 categories

Dennis smith jr- sophmore year of hs was enough for me to say he will be a top pick
Bam Bam- lottery pick but and top 5 potential
Deandre Ayton- top 5 pick
Michael Porter jr top 5 pick


around this most recent draft I realized that we could not get Towns, the guy I posted "draft Karl Towns" all year....so I went to the next best option that was realistic"draft Myles Turner"...and then when Dunn and Poelt etc dropped out I said trade up for turner and draft Upshaw at 16. Then before the draft new things came out on Upshaw I said get him for the best value....I can deal with that.
After the draft settled I started posting" draft Ingram" because its too easy to pick the concensus number 1 pick and Ingram showed me enough to know he would be A GOOD TO VERY GOOD NBA PLAYER same as towns.....so i hoped both would get lost in college mocks and we could pick them up with the 6th pick( rooting for the first pick is not realistic)

2013 didn't really pay attention

2014 - was hoping Exum would fall... when he didn't, I would probably have taken Vonleh @ 6, but I would try to move down and take Saric, probably. @ 17 I would probably have gone with Gary Harris (perhaps Rodney Hood...)

2015 - was hoping we would consolidate/trade; anyway, with the players available when we picked, I would have gone for Justin Anderson @ 16 (with RHJ a close second), Chris McCullough @ 28, Guillermo Hernangomez @ 33 and perhaps Christian Wood @ 45 - but I really wanted Connaughton, who was picked at 41...

2013 - I was hoping we would pick Gobert. We were in dire need of rim protection up to this date and Rudy is doing a nice job in Utah.

2014 - I'm fan of Marcus Smart pick and so far, I'm loving it.

2015 - RHJ was my pick. Too bad Nets grabbed him and Danny opted with Rozier at the 16th spot.
