 I think the top 4 picks all fit very well, and lots of interesting players mid to late lottery. Share your favorite prospects for celtics going forward.

Peterson would be amazing. 6'5" power Guard that can do it all fits any team.Boozer jr. That's the PF this team has needed for a long time.
Boozer/Tatum/Brown great big 3 in the making.

 AJ Dybantsa. A bit strange of a fit with 3 natural small forwards but the talent is so great I'm not complaining.

 Nate Ament 6'10" 207 pounds. A young Durant type. Sign me up

 Talk about your favorite prospects to get us back in contention.

I think Boozer is probably the best fit of the three high level guys, just because I've always been a fan of Brown and Tatum at SG/SF vs SF/PF. It gives both guys more size advantages to attack.

But with Tatum coming off the achilles his future may just be at PF from here on out. Given that I kind of wish there was a higher level Center option in the draft. A rim protecting 3 point shooting 6'11 or bigger guy would be ideal.

In reality I'm not sure fit matters that much. I think the top 3 guys could all be impactful pretty quickly, but while there's some interesting guys in the 4-10 range I think they might take longer to be positive impact players just because that's usually the case. Guys in that range often aren't positive impact players in years 1 or 2, it usually takes a few seasons before they contribute to winning.
