Sorry for delay.  Been in Europe past 2 weeks.  Will have this ready by tomm night.

Unlocking this now.  I plan on updating the big board as best I can in real time tonight for the 1st round.  2nd round picks will be updated after the draft.

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!

Feels like it's gonna be a hectic few hours tonight. It's a deep class but also, I'm sure there will be lots of trade rumors as well and probably even some trades. Buckle up

ESPN mocked Koa Peat to us at 27.  While I would love to trade up, I would be ecstatic if Peat fell to us at 27.  He was mocked as a lottery pick a couple months ago, and while that might have been too high, I think he should be in the 15-20 range.  27 seems way too low.

Thought there were issues with his shot which is why he's dropped quite a bit
