its a longshot, but nothing wrong with dreaming  ;D

So who are the 2 guys you are going to pick, and why?

From what I hear, Atlanta gets Brooklyn's pick if Brooklyn does worse then Atlanta. So the best we can do is 2 and 3.

Unless there is some weird rule that says that its a top 10 protected when it comes to Atlanta, but we get it no matter what. I only wonder that because it keeps being talked about being unprotected.

But even 2 and 3 would just be fine. With that being said I'd go with Parker, and take a shot with Joel Embiid.

1 and 3*

Celtics get 1, Brooklyn 2, ATL 3.

Your right, my bad, shouldn't post things 5 minutes after I get up! :D

I'd still do Parker, and Embiid. Unless we can get a promising big for a Sully and filler trade, then Randle would be the other pick.

Parker & Randle...for now.

I still need to see more of Wiggins.

I see both pix in 12-20 area. Perfect way to take BPA. With Rondo (Pressey) - Green (Wallace) - Sully + KO , C's really need good size SG with 3 and D + athletic big with ability to block shots next to our young front.

My wishlist will be:
SG - Selden/Young/Harris/Hairston/Sulaimon

Big - Caulie-Stein/McGary/Paine

This.

Wiggins probably has the highest ceiling among the three, probably higher than both combined (can I say that?). But Parker and Randle are surefire stars with their skill level.

Wiggins maybe the next Superstar, but I'd play it safe and get the two next multiple All Stars.

Exum and Wiggins or Exum and Parker.

Or...Parker and Wiggins, make Wiggins into a SG and you have your next Wade and Lebron combo.

I'm taking Parker at #1, and Marcus Smart at #3 (This year's version of Chris Paul/Damien Lillard).  I'd flip Rondo to Detroit for a Big or to someone else for a couple more picks down the road.

I don't know how you don't win a lot of games with the defense of Smart and Bradley at the 1 and 2 guard positions going forward.

btw, nobody better defensively in this draft than Marcus Smart.  He's got it all, size, strength....He's 6'4", & he's still quick enough to stay with any PG in the league.

I mean he's averaging close to 4.0 steals per 40 minutes....He's Tony Allen on the defensive side of the ball right away, & far better offensively than Tony when he came out of OK State.

IMO, first team all defense right when he steps foot on the NBA court.  Year 1.  He's that [dang] good.

1+3 is probably Wiggins and Parker, because I assume that Randle would go second.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Definitely not Marcus Smart.... He's not even the best combo guard in the draft and there are at least 5 better prospects. Wiggins, Randle, Parker, Exum, and Embiid will get picked before him
