Willie Cauley-Stein where does he go and can we get him.

[CsBanner18]

I think he'll goes between picks 6-10. I'd say any combination of Sully, Turner, Bradley, picks #16, #28 & #33 in the 2015 draft, or future picks should get it done.

Sully, Turner, #16, #33, & maybe a future 1st that turns into two 2nds?

Trade Turner, Olynyk, #16 to DET for #9? Then use Sully or other picks to trade up to #6 (assuming the lottery order doesn't change and the Kings have the 6th pick)??

IMO the ability to get Cauley-Stein would present one of the most attractive scenarios the Celtics could realistically accomplish this off season. You get a young, low cost center, that should be ready to at least defend well in the NBA right away, plus he'll still have a ton of upside remaining for years to come, plus you've spent no free agent money yet! You've plugged a big hole at almost no cost.

You could go after any top tier free agent on the market. Any power forward, any small forward, a "star"...plus another 2nd tier FA to boot. The C's would be a contender.

When are you going to get that Myles Turner is better.

When are you going to get that Myles Turner is better.

I like Myles Turner, I do. I don't feel he is as athletic as WCS. But Turner is a much more accomplished scorer.

My main problem with Turner is that gate he has in his run. It has to worry others too. That over an 81 game season it will deterioate other parts of his anatomy. I don't understand what the problem is that's causing it. So I'm suspect. 
I know one thing, there's a lot of difference between 25 college games a season, compared to 81, 48 minute games in the NBA.

This what they say about him:

Weaknesses
-Lacks mobility. Struggles getting up and down with fluidity. Runs awkwardly.
-Huge feet slow him down. Has issues hedging and recovering.
-Average body.
-Lacks explosiveness. Not an above the rim guy.
-Not comfortable turning over his right shoulder.
-Lacks go-to moves on the block. Doesn't get deep position.
-Foul prone.

(1) for what ever reason, you forgot this part of the analysis:
Strengths
-Excellent size, frame and length for a center.
-Great instincts as a shot blocker. Rotates well. Alters shots. Very good timing.
-Good offensive rebounder.
-Very good shooting touch. Capable out to 3-point range. Comfortable in mid-range spots.
-Upside offensively. Can get to a turnaround jumper comfortably. Fundamentally sound rip-through from 17 feet. Pretty good touch on right handed jump hook.
-High IQ. Good passer. Knows where to be on the defensive end.
-Good hands.
-Plays with great effort. Works hard on the glass.

That's why many like him, including me. I'm not denying he has talent.
That hitch in his run many hamper him in the pro game, over a hopefully long career, that's all I'm saying. To me it looks like he struggles to get up and down the court.
If it doesn't... I'll stand corrected.
If the C's have the chance to grab him at 16, I'm all for it.

But Willie Cauley is an athletic freak at 7 feet, I feel he is made for the pro level, up and down the court game. Yes he has holes too, though not physical.

Looks like he is a hot topic. Go Willie. It is great when you have so many threads started after the main one. Come on people check before you post.
