Celtics last 3 lottery picks, Lakers picked right before or after.

[JSD]

Smart/Randle
Ingram/Brown
Ball/Tatum


As of right now, it looks like a clean sweep for the Celtics.

How I would rank based on current and potential skills:

1. Tatum
2. Brown
3. Ingram
4. Ball
5. Smart
6. Randle

Absolutely. DA has outplayed them for the last few years massively.

There will be quite a few people who disagree with you (and me) on Ball, but I think he is vastly overrated

Even Rozier/Russell is a win for Danny because Lakers gave up early on D'Lo and Rozier is actually contributing to winning.

I see what you’re saying but Russell is still the better player. The Lakers parted ways for reasons outside of the player’s skills and potential development.

Russell was traded for 3 reasons:

1. Locker room issues. Guys were not happy after the Nick Young incident.
2. To usher in the Ball era
3. To dump salary and clear cap space for next summer by moving Moz

Since our rebuild started after hiring Brad, Danny has bren killing it in the draft!! Maybe Stevens has something to do with it... basically outwitted the general consensus on every single one of his main picks each year :
Smart > Randle
Rozier > Portis
Brown > dunn
And Tatum is pretty much on his way to confirm he is the 1st pick in this draft...
