With the Celtics' and Clippers' picks I think the best we could realistically...

[MikeJelly]

Who do you think are the best kids the C's could realistically get with our picks?

Let's make a game out of this:

C's have #15 (Playoffs ) and#24

I love this draft and I'd love to hear what you guys think.

We need a SF and a C (But you can draft who you think will be BPA)

My picks:
#15 Poeltl
#24 I'm stuck between Hunter/Dekker/Lavert

[jonaslopes]

I really want Poeltl, he will be very good. One of our best options.

With Clippers pick Dekker or Tyus Jones.

So we agree on our picks, TP to you

Poetl is one of last option at 15 for me.  We already have Zeller.  Good chance Poetl wont be much better (if ceiling reached).

TP too!

I forgot about Christian Wood, another good option for Clippers pick, if he is available.

Poeltl will be a good rim protector. And his ceiling is higher than Cauley-Stein's in my opinion. With his defense we could try to bring Love. Tyus Jones would be a safety pick: if Smart doesn't develop the point guard instinct, we could use Jones at PG in the future and Marcus at SG to defend.

Smart / Thomas / Jones
Bradley / Turner / Young
Free agent SF / Crowder / Wallace (meh)
Love (we can trade Kelly then) / Sullinger / Jerebko or Bass
Poeltl / Zeller / Hernangomez (second round pick)

Isn't Jones a PG?  So we'd have Smart, Thomas, Pressey, Bradley, all of whom can play the point, why add Jones?  I'm looking for a scorer at that position, unless we can spin the two firsts in a trade.

Whoever falls of Oubre(SF)/Turner (C) at #15, which I think one of them probably will.

Then reach for the opposite prospect at #24 - someone like D. Johnson maybe?

I wouldn't use those players as an excuse not to select him. 
Smart -> not showing a lot of natural PG skills.  hoping he can at least be a solid combo guard
IT -> backup PG on good team.  he's not someone I'd want starting
Pressey -> 3rd string PG.  I like the kid but we could really use an upgrade at PG overall
AB -> in no way, shape or form is AB a PG.  his ballhandling and passing are low quality for a SG, nevermind a PG.  AB should never be played at PG if it can ever be avoided.  I'd rather play KO at PG instead.
Turner -> has been used as PG a lot this year.  fine bringing the ball up and ok passer but dribbling or passing in traffic is not great.

If Jones is BPA at the time we pick with the Clips pick I'd be fine taking him but a tad bummed someone better didn't fall to us.  if he's there with the philly second, he'd be a good selection at that spot IMHO

Who I want at 25
1. Nigel Hayes
2. Rondae Hollis Jefferson
3. Malik Pope

Just looks like a pilon on the offensive end.  Mainly good for dunks, putbacks. Doesnt even set very good screens.

Towns is easily a better overall player
