but we NEED to get more first rounders for this draft. Not next year, THIS year. The top 20 is stacked with talent. For example,

C: Andre Drummond
   Tyler Zeller
   Meyers Leonard
   Cody Zeller

PF: Anthony Davis
    Jared Sullinger
    John Henson
    Thomas Robinson

SF: Harrison Barnes
    Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
    Perry Jones
    Terrence Jones
    Quincy Miller
    Terrence Ross

SG: Jeremy Lamb
    Bradley Beal
    Austin Rivers

Those are just 17 players projected in the top 20. Youtube search any of them, and you will be impressed. To give people an idea of how good these guys are, Austin Rivers, who everyone wanted to trade up in the top 10 for, is projected 19.

19.

The same spot Avery Bradley was drafted two years before. It's not that he didn't live up to expectations, its that the other players are THAT good. As of right now if projections were always spot on, we would be drafting Terrence Jones and Austin Rivers. And Rivers is with the lower pick out of that (10th and 19th). Getting another pick or 2 in the 15-25 range would be insane. Considering then we could (theoretically) package multiple first rounders for a top 5 pick and have a shot at Drummond, Davis, Barnes, and Sullinger.

The time to build up picks is this season, not this offseason.

with one of the first round picks we need to grab zeller. Drummond will probably be picked before any of our picks. but zeller looks good and could drop to around 12-15

Give me ThOmas Robinson. Athletic, has size an compare to most big men in the draft other than Sullinger, he has good post moves an footwork in the paint. Defense is a little suspect but there's effort.

Then draft John Jenkins for the 2nd first. The guy can unload from deep.

Drummond will be second most likely. But if we get a third 1st rounder, like Phoenix's or Houston's, then Zeller would be a perfect pickup. He's got great potential to be a stud center.

Tyler Zeller is One tough dude. I would live him as well.

My top 5 players we should go after (within reason) would be(in no order):

Terrence Jones
John Henson
Austin Rivers
Tyler Zeller
Jeremy Lamb (could fall in the draft for big men)

I agree we should stack more picks. Another one would be real nice. No way I would draft Terrence Jones at 10. Quincy Miller all day baby. I love his game. I would certainly take Austin at 19 if hes there. If we could get another pick it would be for Meyers Leonard. I'm assuming we dont get any top 9 picks.

Keep an eye out for Jarnell Stokes in the next couple years. Hes like a less athletic Charles Barkley, but bigger. Really nice good guy with crazy skill for an 18 year old.

Ray Allen to Utah for the TPE and Golden State's 1st rounder would be sweet (Utah doesn't have their own 1st rounder for this draft)

This draft is so overrated. I feel like these 15-20 great players are all fringe starter players with some busts and fringe all-stars mixed in.

Anthony Davis will end up being the best big in this draft.

We need to draft athletic guys that can run to transfer the team over to Rondo's style. Zeller is tough and strong but we should concentrate on more athletic guys. I love Thomas Robinson and Kidd-Gilchrist, if we can get one of those guys we are getting a big strong tough fast guy who will get out and run with Rondo.

There are a lot of NBA players there but not NBA stars in this draft.

I like Rivers, Kid-Gilchrist and Davis.  I think Henson will have a Marcus Camby type career.

I think it's even better than that, with the lack of elite centers in the league I think Drummond will be special. I also think Thomas Robinson will be an all star.
