Wow, Terry is dominating this vote. This is quite a juxtaposition from immediately after the draft.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was who I was hoping for... But I like what I've seen from Rozier and think that he and Smart might be an excellent pairing
My biases, in order of fervor:
Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier

ya that'd be one of the most physical and gritty backcourts in the league. Just I'm a little worried about his shooting and overall offensive skill set

Sam Dekker. Filled a need. Was a lottery talent that slipped to the 16th overall pick. Just watch Vegas Summer League if you want to know why we should have drafted him.
I don't hate Rozier, but there was no fit and I don't believe he was even the best player available.

Yep

Same, I also really wanted Vaughn

Yeah what I like about Vaughn based on scouting reports is he can shoot the lights out of the ball. You can never have enough guys like that.

I was wanting Rashad Vaughn at 16, as I had even posted a link here that Milwaukee didn't think he was going to last until 17, and that was before the draft that it was published.

And then at 28, I was seriously thinking of Terry Rozier. Before the NCAA tourney started, I remember thinking that Louisville would be a first round exit due to the Chris Jones dismissal. But Rozier stepping up his game impressed me and I was already a fan.

Bobby Portis.

Hate the Rozier pick.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

Totally agree, it's not like that I didn't like Rozier but it was just frustrating that A. we passed up on Vaughn and B. we could've gotten him later in the first round or even early second.

Since I've started to like Rozier since he is a celtic, I'm ok with picking him over Portis. At the time though I did want Portis since we needed another big man. But the more I watch Portis, I realize that his post mechanics are not great and he relies too much on his jumper and may end up like Olynyk or Sully

Honestly, I deep down wanted the Celtics to pick upshaw at 16 based on need, but knew we couldn've gotten him later
