 Fair to say I have A different choice in players than Danny does. So let's take a look at the current Celtics team with the picks I would have made since 2014.

 2014

 Marcus Smart
 James Young

 My reality

 Julius Randle (No Brainer IMO)
 Rodney Hood ( Hood, TJ Warren, Young) That was my wish list in that order that year.

 2015

 Terry Rozier
 RJ Hunter

 My picks

 Hollis Jefferson
 Kevon Looney

 I thought Portis was an easy choice, however HJ was my bikie from that draft and I would have drafted him. Hunter was my second choice, but I thought Looney had some dragons Green qualities.

 2016

 Jaylen Brown
 Yabu
 Zizic
 Jackson
 Bentil
 Nader

 #3 Pick a very tough choice. My board would have been Murray, Brown, Chris's

 #16 I'd take Zizic
 #23 Brice Johnson
 #45 Jackson
 #51 Kay Felder

 Horford/Amir/ Zizic
 Randle/Olynyk/Looney
 Crowder/Hollis Jefferson/Brown
 Bradley/ Hood/ Brown
 Thomas/ Felder/Jackson

 As you can see I'm more inclined to draft big guys. The #3 puck this year us one Pick that I could have been swayed.

 With the roster I have here. Do you think Brown us the best fit here? He still has star potential. I love shooters like Murray though his defense is suspect, and Chriss is such a freak I could have went that way too. Still torn on that pick.

I'm mostly fine with the way we've drafted. The only guy out of those that you listed as your targets that I REALLY wanted was TJ Warren. I really wanted to trade up for him, I saw him as a guy who could really be a big time scorer for us. It's a shame he went before 17 and we couldnt get him. Not a real fan of RHJ. Love his defense, but how many guys that can't score can you have on a team? At some point you'll need offense too. Brice Johnson would have been nice too, but I'm not losing that much sleep over not getting him.

I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

 One area Im willing to make fun of myself Is that every year I draft a power forward Lol.

 Like Ainge has to take a 6 Foot guard every year that can't shoot. I have to take A PF.

 It would definitely help our Rebounding problem this year, but we may need more guys like Malcolm Brogdon, who was available this year as well.


 Boston. Would you agree that this roster is more talented than our current roster.

Hindsight isn't really fair. He had a tough choice between Smart and Randle. The rumor was the Lakers wanted Smart. I think Smart has had the bigger impact defensively.

I would have taken Portis over Rozier. But right now it's a tossup. Rozier could be good.

I would not mind trading Rozier for Cauley-Stein, who Ainge wanted in the draft, but missed out by a couple of spots.

I think he blew it trading up to get Olynyk. Satisfied with the Brown pick at #3. Could also be good.

I think Ainge has traded better than drafted overall.

 The Lakers wanted Randle. Who cares who the Lakers wanted it's about taking the best prospect and that was Julius Randle. Thanks.
