Any chance of the Celtics getting Patrick Williams? Would love to somehow end up with him.

But I think the Celts should aim higher at 14

Other than them I really like Achiuwa (very intrigued by his defensive potential, Siakam-light?), but I worry that he's not the type of player that would flourish under Stevens.A player that I think could be a great fit for the Celtics is Tyler Bey (strong rebounder, Anunoby/Covington type). Too high at 14 I suppose and better to be picked at 26? Someone here is very high on Paul Reed, but can he play next a center (like Theis/Timelord)? I'm pretty sure from the videos on Youtube that Jalen Smith can't, so despite his 3-point-shot, I don't want him as our newly drafted PF.Mocks are still all over the place. Lots of guards available at 14, but I don't have someone standing out right now.On defence I think Reed would thrive next to Theis or Williams with his activity and length, and could play centre for minutes (think a bigger Rob Covington). On offence it might be tricky though, given his passing is still improving, as is his shooting.I don't know how of an issue that would be if we have Kemba, JT, JB and Hayward all healthy though. He'd be my guy at #26.One thing is for sure - there is more uncertainty with this draft than any I can rememberHow is Reed passing and IQ?Only reason I would think twice about drafting Achiuwa is "siakam" factor. Silly mistakes and turnovers. A little out of controlI'm with you on Achiuwa's "siakam" factor. I see a player who will have an impact on the game by sheer force of energy. I think he also has a lot of skills, but they are rough and undefined. If you could get a Siakim-type player at 14, and then keep him in a natural high-energy, high-efficiency role-player role, then that's a good pick.

I see him as a higher ceiling prospect in the same niche as Grant Williams. Both have enough mobility to play some perimeter defense but would struggle as a full time wing. As a small ball 5 P Will like Grant should excel in P&R and providing weak side rim protection. While P Williams is still very young and not the polished high IQ player Grant is his higher ceiling comes from his projected superior perimeter shooting and obviously superior vertical explosion. I picture 100% ceiling P Williams as Marvin Williams on offence and a 6'8 Ibaka on D.

But his ceiling really is much higher, I think.

I still want Nesmith. Shooting is such a necessity in our offense.
Chris Grenham: Top JUCO recruit Jay Scrubb made a great impression on the Celtics during their virtual pre-draft meeting, per source. Scrubb was committed to Louisville before opting to stay in the draft this spring. Solid 3-and-D potential with great athleticism. Really intriguing prospect
Likely not going 14th... but I was predicting Danny could be interested in ScrubbQuoteChris Grenham: Top JUCO recruit Jay Scrubb made a great impression on the Celtics during their virtual pre-draft meeting, per source.
