Celtics workout List

[CFAN38]

Did this last year, I will list who and when the Cs are working out players.

Being reported that the Cs will bring in 12 guys for memorial day weekend including 6 PGs

Ricky Ledo SG 5/24
Peyton Siva PG 5/24
Phil Pressey PG 5/24
Colton Iverson C 5/24
Pierre Jackson PG 5/24
Erick Green PG 5/24
Vander Blue SG 5/24
Myck Kabongo PG 5/24
Shane Larkin PG 5/24
Jeff Withey C 5/24
Steve Adams C 5/24
Greg Echenique C 5/24

So first workouts 4 centers,  2 SGs, 6 Pgs

2nd group

Trevor Mbakwe   pf 6/2
Jon lee          g 6/2 x2 has second workout
Tyler Brown      G 6/2
Troy Daniels.    G 6/2 from vcu

Mason plumlee pf 6/3
Reggie Johnson c 6/4
Ian Clark g 6/4
Dennis Schroeder g 6/4

Mouhammadou Jaiteh C has workout scheduled

So looking at the list as of 6/5

Guys who could be taken if still on board at #16
Schroeder
Plumlee
Adams
Larkin

Later first round picks (trade down?)
Withey
Ledo

Early-Mid 2nd round guys (trading for a pick?)
Jackson
Green
Kabongo
Mbakwe
Iverson
Pressey
Jaiteh
BLue
Siva

the rest I would figure to be undrafted camp invite type guys or maybe very end of 2nd

Switch Withey and Larkin, move Ledo to 2nd round and move at least half those 2nd round guys to undrafted free agent types and I think you will be about right.

Larkin is getting a lot of late lottery looks and is even rumored to have a promise from the bucks. I may be wrong but I believe the Cs are the highest picking team to workout withey. Ledo is high potential player in a draft void of high potential prospects someone will take a flyer on him earlier than many expect.

he takes none of those....the guy s he "really" wants .....DA is not letting out of the bag...

I think he takes Dieng ...if he is available.

We should have an idea soon. Dieng is starting to workout for teams after missing time with an ankle injury. I believe his first workout is with the Bucks.

I may be in the small percentile here but i do want Mason Plumlee here. I feel he can run the floor, Rebound, Block shots, and finish around the basket. Would be a nice player to have with Rondo. We'll see. I thought i was reading that portland may consider moving their pick. So I wouldn't mind nabbing him at 10. Anyone else like Plumlee?

Good to see the Celtics looking at Kabongo, Larkin, Withey, Adams, Schroeder, who are all intriguing for their own reasons. Shabazz Muhammad (and Dieng on a lesser note) is the only other option that intrigues me.

I also like plumlee, don't know that he will ever be a starter on a playoff team but would make a great 5/4 rotational big. I see him having a similar career to Bass or Wilcox (when healthy). Good enough to start on some teams but better suited for the bench on good teams. He could step right in next season and play Wilcox's role as Rondo favorite fast break target.

[Tr1boy]

The issue with Plumlee is he has been unfortunately a part of a Duke team that has got famously beat by Lehigh in 2012, Alex Len took him to school, Dieng got the better of him this year , miami has beat Duke.

Game plan to beat Plumlee is the pick and Roll. Or get him out on the perimeter bc he only has avg footspeed. He can run well as he builds from momentum, but quickness from standstill is only avg. Mediocre Wingspan but has a nice vertical leap. Again not quick of the feet in terms of jumping either.

I rather try my luck with Dieng or Withey

[CFAN38]

Add Caldwell-pope to the possible guys at #16

I agree if they let out they like a guy, it is a smokescreen.

At 16....Is it a realistic goal to expect to land a starter on a playoff team?

[Galeto]

I like Plumlee.  I don't think he'll ever be much of a scoring threat in the post or in pick and pops but he's a solid all-around defender and fine rebounder.  The Celtics certainly could've used him last season.

I think the 10th pick is too high for Plumlee.  Adams or Schroeder there.

I would say in the first round the goal is to draft a guy who at least has the ceiling to start on a playoff team. Plumlee has that ceiling but that will be the absolute best.

In my opinion a normal draft should expectation should be as follows

top 2 = super star / center piece

top 5 = all star

top 10 = boarder line allstar good 3rd option

top 15 = starter

top 25 = boarder line starter, high end role player

top 35 = end of rotation guy

top 50 = can earn roster spot

top 60 = good summer league player

This draft has a probably 30 guys in the typical 15-25 range and 8 in the 10-15 range.

Jamaal Franklin

and

Jackie Carmichael

I like both particularity Carmicheal, seems like a great 2nd round pick back up big. Has good college stats and good measurements 8'11 standing reach 7'1.5 wingspan. Just big enough to be a 4/5 off the bench.

I really like Franklin, I think he will be able to guard the two and the three at a high level in the pros.
