Draft day so unlocking now.  I'll work my best to try and keep the big board updated as the draft progresses (at least the first round).

A few reminders:

-A reminder the draft is a two day event.  First round tonight and second round tomorrow night. Both on ESPN.

-Please no tipping picks.  Not every one is glued to Twitter so please don't announce picks ahead of time in this thread. You will be tossed.

-We've archived previous draft threads going all the way back to 2008.  Feel free to peruse and see how right (or wrong) you were in the past.    https://forum.celticsstrong.com/index.php?topic=70840.0

Enjoy the draft tonight!

Figured Id bump up to discuss the draft as it?s under 4 hours away.


Official Prediction: Celtics dont trade up. Take Maxime Raynaud at #28 and Noah Penda at #32.

Then trade Sam Hauser to the Pistons for #37 and take Alijah Martin.

I'd be fine with getting those 2 with the C's picks though to be honest, I have my doubts Penda is there at 28 and if he is, take him then.  figure Raynaud or Kalkbrener are there at 32 if that's the case.

I don't see Sam getting dumped for just a second rounder in this draft.

Hope the Celtics can find a way to acquire one of Thomas Sorber or Danny Wolf.

I put my money on the #3 pick (Philly) and the #9 pick (Toronto) being moved. Also, no way Brooklyn uses all 5 of their 1sts.

Per Shams, Spurs trade #38 pick to Indiana for a future 2nd rounder.

Someone just yelled out,  The draft is rigged!

Still just such a sham that Dallas ended up with the first pick. These kinds of narrative driven ?coincidences? happen way too frequently to be random.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Absolute ceiling for a 28, 32, Hauser package would be 14 to the Spurs. Doubt Jakucionis would be there.

Mavs make one of, if not the worst trade in NBA history. Then they land the #1 pick with a 1% chance, then the Lakers get sold for $10B. Nothing to see here, Folks!
