assuming Wiggins goes first

[TeamGreen.dm]

My opinion is Parker....

[Sketch5]

I like Gordan. He reminds me a little of C-Webb. Jumps out of the building like Griffen, but has a better shot and gets his team involved. Unselfish player which is good.

Of course that could mean either KO or Sully are out of a job.

That's the interesting thing about a scenario in which the Celtics end up with a top 5 pick next year.  As of now no center is projected there, the Celts position of biggest need.  The big stars play PG, SF and PF, where we have Rondo, Green, Sully and KO.  Obviously the Celtics can take BPA and work the player in slowly, but someone ends up unhappy eventually and at the very least there would be a lot of trade speculation.  I guess one option would be drafting 6' 4" 215 lb Marcus Smart and starting him at the 2 guard next to Rondo.  AB great off the bench.

jabari parker had been considered the #1 pick of the 2014 draft since he was 14

if you've seen his videos, he looks like the 2nd coming of paul pierce.



it would easily be him. the fact that he's mormon doesnt hurt either

virtually no team drafts for "need" with their 1st round pick unless theyre a contender.

next, its important to have good backups, so having multiple players at 1 position is still a necessity.

I know.  But if the Celts are in love with Rondo, Green and Sully KO, then they could trade down for Smart and pick up a second stud aside from Smart. 

I agree though they'd probably just take Parker or Randle.  But don't you agree there would quickly be a lot of trade speculation right afterwards?  I mean JG is not going back to the bench.  Maybe the Celts would try the following for a while:

Rondo
AB
Green
Randle, KO
Sully, KO

Isn't Gordan more of a 3 than a 4?

Wiggins seems to have the whole NBA world in awe but i find Parker the more complete player. Now granted we've only seen him against HS competition but he did play inner city basketball which is as competitive as Texas HS fball.

He can score like Carmelo, decision making of LeBron and he's smooth like Paul Pierce. He does seem to be more methodic and glides more in his movements rather than the quick bursts of speed that Gordon, Wiggins or Randle possess.

And all of the basketball games played, his talent and potential the thing i find his big asset is that he really has a good head on his shoulders. Doesn't seem like the type of player who will care about playing in the big market, perfect fit for the Cs IMO. I'd make a Herschel Walker like trade in order to grab this kid

We have no one on the roster that would preclude us from taking BPA.

Of course not.  That's always true. 

But BPA can be mysterious at times, no?  There isn't always
consensus, and in those cases all kinds of other factors come into play,
including character, among other things...

When a player is drafted the GM talks about getting the player he most wanted.  Doesn't mean he didn't nearly choose the other guy...

He's listed at 6'9". Same as Green, but he's a really good rebounder. He, brace your self, boxes out. Plus the kid could also grow an other inch the next couple years.

Jabari Parker.

He can be a scoring machine in the NBA and would love to have something like that in our team.

[syfy9]

The thing that Parker has over everyone else (including Wiggins) is his poise and swagger.

He has that edge that all the greats have had, and that's what almost guarantees him success in the NBA.
