Sticking at #16 would be a real bummer.  It's mostly a crapshoot in that range.  MIght as well just trade down and get something else.

Bobby Portis. His motor is KG lite.

I would be happy with RHJ or Portis but I'm beginning to think that Vaughn has star potential:

"1.16 points per possession on spot-up jumpers.
1.02 points per possession coming off of screens.
.951 points per possession as a ball-handler in the pick-and-roll.
1.33 points per possession in no-dribble isolation situations.
That last number is off the charts. No-dribble isolations are the most difficult—and ill-advised—shots in the game, yet Vaughn buries them with frightening regularity."

This predictive chart also has him among the top of all prospects at getting to the rim:

He's also only 18 years old.

I won't say that I hope he will be the pick, but I would be a bit excited if Kevon Looney is taken at #16 if it means the Celtics see his potential as outweighing the concerns about him.  His ceiling is that of an unselfish guy who provides star-level production without necessarily scoring 20ppg.  His experience as a high school PG and his potential to play SF make him someone who might become the point forward I crave who can replace Evan Turner.  He's a 19-year-old who was a top ten high school recruit and was getting picked in the top five in early mock drafts.  He might be a lottery talent who the Celtics can buy low at #16.  With his stock dropping, maybe the Celtics can nab him at #28, but I'm not sure he gets past #26.

Bobby is my guy too.

My reasons:
- very good defender. Very mobile for a 6'11''. Comfortable on switches 1-5. Good in the PnR. Better defensive rebounder than his stats - he was often guarding on the perimeter and not in a position to rebound
- versatile on O. Good jumper and face-up game.

Overall, a two-way player who can play 4/5. Great mobility, other than that good but not great at everything. Still some room to grow.

I am not concerned by the logjam at 4. I think either KO or Sully is gone this summer.

Rondae Hollie Jefferson

I also had trey lyles but he is expected to be drafted in mid to late lottery so less realistic

Justin Anderson or Bobby Portis.

Both athletic, defense-minded and high-motor players. You can't go wrong with that combination.

Anderson I guess. ......somebody who probably will be there or Upshaw..

I think maybe a couple players will die on the vine , seems that always happens for whatever reason.

WCS may last till 7 or 8 ....

If we want him ....gonna have to move up. Kiss Jackson's rear end

Maybe Kaminsky will fall though.....PLEASE ..no Dekker .....I see bust so clearly.

I'm a bad picker though ...I wanted Fab Melo,...LOL  :D

RHJ, Justin Anderson or RJ Hunter. Honestly, I'll be able to talk myself into almost any non-PG because there are about 10 - 15 guys who seem really close. I think RHJ will end up a better NBA wing than Stanley Johnson, Oubre, and Dekker. Also might be a safer pick than Hezonja (who I think will be boom or bust with not much in between).
