Nbadraft latest mock draft: Celts pick Oubre, Wood, Mickey, Jaiteh

[Tr1boy]

16- Oubre
28- Wood
33- Mickey
45 - Jaiteh

Nice possible outcome

I think this would be a great outcome. I don't trust nbadraft.net to get it right in their mock though.

Wow. I didnt like the Wood at 16 talk, but Id be delighted at 28. Youve more than talked me into Mickey at 33 Triboy, and Jaitah at 45 is another nice pick.

At 16 Oubre could be a steal. He has tremendous quickness and explosiveness, a great combo of length and size, and a sweet stroke.

Unfortunately he would need a lot of development, but he has a lot of potential. I would be pretty happy with this draft.

Interesting notes about this mock: Kaminsky falls to 19, Upshaw not present.

I find they usually get a lot closer in the 24 hours before the draft

Mudiay at #5 to Orlando, who already has Payton and Oladipo in the backcourt, is simply not happening. Martin supposedly also has a mid-1st rd promise. Think Hunter is way too low also.

this would be a very nice draft outcome

Oubre has the tools to be a very good player.  I'm thinking could turn out to be like a Derozan.   Wood if he can put on 15-20 pounds of weight without it affecting his explosiveness could turn out to be like a John Henson.    Mickey and Jaiteh are solid 2nd round picks.

Not sure you could get much better than that if we stay where we're at in the draft. If we go this route, though, I think we should go totally young and play a lineup of Smart, Young, Oubre, Sully, and KO.

[MBunge]

If Oubre is the bpa at 16, I would think Ainge is more likely to trade it and some other stuff for a mid-level vet.

Mike

[mmmmm]

I wouldn't put a lot of money down on that outcome just yet.

Just for comparison, DraftExpress as of the 10th had us taking:

16: Portis
28: McCullough
33: Gudaitis
45: de Paula

I wouldn't put too much stock in that, either.

I still don't think Danny is going to keep all 4 picks.  Too many rookies.   Stevens needs better talent.  Not more babies to train.

[DraftSmart33]

I really like the idea of Portis if we can move up significantly.  I also have an irrational belief that RJ Hunter could be a solid scorer.

[LGC88]

Mock drafts are playing Yoyo with RJ hunter. He has been everywhere from #15 to #30.
They can't make their mind. To me, his value is around 15.

[PhoSita]

Oubre and Wood.  High upside, low floor.

I'd be okay with that.

[BornReady]

I like this for us as mentioned he has a high upside
And at 16 there isn't anyone I really want that is projected in this range

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

First time really paying much attention to Oubre, I'm sorry but his weaknesses sound like a guy opposite of who CBS would want. Poor decision maker, doesn't like to pass, poor ball handles and the college game at times was too fast for him (wow imagine the speed of the NBA). His strengths seem tantalizing though. I mean, if he puts it together both physically and mentally, he may turn into something very nice.


S/N: Maybe this should have it's own thread to discuss it but can someone tell me how often Danny picks people mocks say he will or guys on people's radar? It seems like he picks people no one thinks he will or guys who get little hype (especially here). I remember a lot of people saying pick Smart, so maybe it has to do with where he picks, he probably takes more chances end/out of the lotto since a low pick doesn't really carry much expectation?
