2026 draft class. Best fit for celtics

[slightly biased bias fan]

Someone who has not really been talked about yet (due to injury) is UConn Huskies Braylon Mullins.

The guy has some Reggie Miller/Chris Mullin to his game.

I was surprised by how small Darryn Peterson looked after hearing about how he was a big two guard. He was more like a Larry Hughes sized SG than a Kobe Bryant.

Yeah, even Peterson himself is not a fan of the Kobe talk.

For me, a more polished (mentally stable) Gilbert Arenas is a better comparison.

PEterson is an elite defender, I dont see the Arenas comp.


If Anything he is a bigger, excellently defensive Damian Lillard.

Lillard with his scoring creation, Pull up ability, Shooting touch and the ability to attack a defense
Got some SGA level midrange game and Burst
Got some Kobe in regards to competitiveness, Footwork and 2way ability

6-5 200-205lbb as a 18 year old who still could grow another inch or 2 and easily fill out to another 15-20 lbs

[Birdman]

Anyone who is over 6-10, can rebound & protect the rim

Peterson is another kid from NE Ohio.  Quite an Olympic squad could be put together just from Ohio born players.

Steph, McCollum, LeVert, LeBron, Nance
Peterson, Kennard, Trent, Tate, McBride, Branham, Livingston, Hayes-Davis, Bronny
Rozier dishonorable mention.

Need some big guys, but pretty solid talent overall led by the 2 all timers at the top of the roster.
