Not a lot of Big's in the top 10 and those who are, are below average in height.

The lack of quality bigs in this draft is something I mentioned before.

Will DA trade the pick or draft a highend PG or wing?

Maybe we trade Brown in a package and pick a wing in the draft.

112288

Brown is an athletic wing and we keep him.  We draft a wing that can score. We make a nice pair.

Someone like . . . um . . . Josh Jackson SF 6-8 Kansas A special talent with elite level scoring ability. At 6-8 with great length and quickness, he's nearly impossible to defend.

I think I read that somewhere?

Over a year ago the 2017 draft was discussed in glowing terms.

If a team has a top 5 pick they are going to get a really good player. The Celtics have drafted a lot of guards and wings but that have yet to draft a player that is going to be a superstar.

DA may be very reluctant to trade his Brooklyn pick this year given the talent 1-5 +

dboss

A player that I really like is Fultz. We have so many small guards but he is 6' 5" combo guard. Check out the video.

Josh Jackson is a SF but since we drafted Brown last year so I do not see a reason to draft him. He also has a noticeble flaw in his shooting. Note the release point on his jumper.

There are a group of high end athletes to choose from. In no particular order they include

Dennis Smith
Malik Monk
Harry Giles
Markell Fultz
Josh Jackson
De'Aaron Fox
