Let's do a live CB Mock Draft starting now.

[Who]

Suns to take Jaylen Brown

Not a nice draft for the Suns. They already have Bledsoe and Booker at guard (and Brandon Knight who I forgot). They have A.Len at center who seems comparable to Poeltl. They badly need a forward but none are altogether convincing. Dunn is the best player available. Brown is interesting though too. I went with Brown because I think they could do with another ball-handler and they want to have legit size / athleticism on the wing after years of undersized perimeter combos.

Sorry to hijack, but quick question about the blog.  If I give a Tommy Point, does it show up anywhere in the UI?  i.e. Can I see the posts I "TP'd", or do TP's not even correspond to posts? thx

Sometimes people will acknowledge in a post they have a TP, but you just click "giveth one" and the poster will receive one.  Public acknowledgement is neither required nor automatic.

They also have Ty Warren. Heard a podcast where it speculates they take Dunn (BPA), trade Knight (who they hate), eventually trade Bledsoe (after he builds up trade value), and have Dunn and Booker as their backcourt of the future. Two players that compliment each other very well, unlike Bledsoe and Knight. Also appears they're very down on Len and there is serious doubt if they consider him part of their future. His 42% from the field overall, which is primarily on shots by the rim, is a major concern.

Celtics pick Brown at 3.   Bender is a gigantic bust waiting to happen.   Don't drink the agent's kool aid.

I'm an optimist so I want to go with bender...
But I'm a skeptic...

[dreamgreen]

So hard to say at this point what the C's do. I'll go with Murray at the moment, at #4 Bender.

[mmmmm]

Celtics take Bender at #3
Suns trade the pick to Denver, who takes Murray at #4

Suns get #7, #15, #19 & Nurkic
Den get #4 & #28 & whatever filler is needed to make the deal work.

Why: Suns want a young big man and Bender is off the table and Denver wants to move up to get Murray, who won't make it past MIN or NOP.

 

[Fireworks_Boom!]

With the 3rd pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics select Kris Dunn of Providence College.

Celtics take bender at #3.  Is it time to move onto #4 now? 

[Beat LA]

Is this a 'what would you do at 3' question or does it concern who you think that the Celtics will ultimately select at that spot?

[vjcsmoke]

Bender. 

This is of course with presumption we actually take pick at 3 instead of trading.
I can't pass on the upside and length at this spot.
If someone offers a ransom to move up, of course I would consider as Celtics fantasy GM.  LOL.

We should do a poll for the entire lottery, see how close the majority of celticblog is. Start with #3 let the poll run a day take the winner off the board than go to #4 ...
