I vote for Denzel Valentine, he is a poor man's smaller version of Draymond.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Tim Luwawu is looking like a nice potential pick for us or the Dallas pick.

Silky smooth European with looooong arms and good 3 point shooting.
I can't remember a European this young at the guard spot who plays defense this well.

Very nice prospect for Stevens to work with. 20 yrs old.

"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Can't imagine Luwala is available when we use either of those picks. He seems likely to move up in the draft by then.

This draft doesn't excite me much outside the top 2 or 3. I'd rather have mulitiple picks next year. It's a good thing we can still swap with Brooklyn in 2017. I hope to get Len Bias, Jr., err, I mean Josh Jackson. He's just sick.

Zhou Qi, please. Currently #20DX. I've never seen such an elite prospect get so little hype.

-7'2 with a 7'7 wingspan
-Elite mobility and coordination for a 7-footer. Quickness to consistently guard stretch 4's.
-Excellent CBA stats: 18ppg on .689FG%, 10REB, .736FT% on 7FT/g, 1.4AST/1.35TOV, 1.05STL, 3.65BLK. 5/8 from 3.
-Stats compare favorably to Yao Ming at the same age
-Very good midrange shooter, at least some ability to hit 3's
-Reportedly a smart player with very good feel for the game. Supported by >1ast/tov
-Advanced post moves.

The two key question marks for Qi are his strength (210lb) and the level of competition in the CBA. However, he's dominating weak competition pretty thoroughly (3.65bpg, ultra-efficient 18ppg), and an NBA weight program will do a world of good for him. To me these concerns are serious enough to keep him out of the conversation for a top 3 pick, but he remains the most underrated prospect in the world.
