Only a couple of hours away now.
I’m opening this up now. I’ll try to keep the Big Board updated throughout the first round. High site volume (especially at the top of the draft & around the Celtics pick) and/or life may slow down some updates.
Feel free to see old draft threads here:

Enjoy tonight! Always a fun night!

Ready to see this thing unfold. Boston can tweak some parts of their team with a good pick tonight.
-
Let’s go! :D
-
I assume it's on ESPN, which means count me out...only have basic cable. Hope the site has enough bandwidth to cover me constantly refreshing the thread! :)

Think we’ll be picking at 27 (i.e no trades). Knowing DA, will be shocked if it’s not Allen if he’s available
-
Grayson Allen is the 2nd coming of Danny Ainge the player. That’s a nice addition to a team looking to contend for a championship

No he's not.
Can we stop discrediting how great of a player Ainge was in college? His teammates weren't anything great, and defenses honed in on him with him being the 2nd/1st option most nights, and he still shot 52%. He averaged 20.9 PPG, 4.6 APG, 4.6 RPG, 1.7 SPG. He was one of the best athletes, ranking in football, baseball, and basketball.
Only person to be All-America in 3 sports
Won the John R Wooden award for best basketball player in college
Won the Eastman award for best basketball player in college
Youngest person in Blue Jays history to hit a home run
Grayson Allen would be happy to sniff half of his accomplishments.
That being said, Grayson Allen does have some fire to him, so we'll see.
I'm just not overly optimistic he's anything more than a potential sixth man (?), or off the bench scoring guy.

anyone know if the 1st selection is at 7pm eastern, or is that just the start of a long drawn out pre-draft show?

It starts at 7:35.
7pm is pre-draft show/analysts.

I don't think we should be expecting any more from #27. The young, talented guys are usually gone, so accomplished upperclassmen with limited ceilings are common at the end of the 1st round.
I agree, this player most likely will not be starting for the Celtics. This will be a win if Danny can pick a guy that eventually fits within a 7-8 man playoff rotation.

If Semi, who couldn't make any shots this year, got rotation minutes...then I think someone at 27 can break through.

I just don't get where he would fit on our team..
Where is he getting minutes?
If we keep the team as is, there is literally no room. Rozier/Smart should see PG/SG minutes, along with the occasional Hayward. Allen cannot guard 3's, let alone 4's. I'm not gonna lie, I have warmed up to him. But to me, he's considered an early second round pick at best.
I would rather use that pick on Spellman, or Mo Wagner.

My god, you have this inherent dislike for Semi, and it's puzzling to me, did he like hurt your family or something? He's a freaking 2nd rounder, who performed admirably well on defense against Giannis, LeBron, and Simmons.

No. Semi seems like a great person. Just giving you an example when you say the 27th pick won't get many meaningful minutes. Semi, who like you said, was a second round pick that played a ton. If he can break through why can't this pick?

I didn't say the 27th pick wouldn't get meaningful minutes... I said Allen who is a PG/SG combo guard won't, due to an influx of guards/combo forwards that can ball handle.
We were short on big men during injuries.

I am ok with Spellman or Wagner with this pick. Afraid though it will be a 6'3-6'4 defensive minded guard.

Sounds like the Boston Celtics are staying put in the first round, but trying to get in to the second round (where Boston's pick went to the Thunder). The Celtics could buy a pick or move a future pick.

This sounds like a good idea. Hopefully it is close to the top of the second round. Seems they could get some talent there.
Staying put is smart..although I hope that Kings pick next year isn't the top pick

Mitchell Robinson is tantalizing, my binkie in 2nd round is Tryggvi Hlinason.

Brunson in the second round would be a steal.

With Danny being so unpredictable at times, I almost expect a good sized move tonight now with nobody expecting it.
-
Can’t say I understand the point of adding a second rounder when we had approximately 50 rookies last year, but whatever. No reason to be upset with it given the likely minuscule price.

We can make it one. Chances by the time we get around to the C's pick the thread will be pretty much dead..

Supposedly Woj and the other ESPN people won’t be spoiling things this year on Twitter.
That said, I think it’s standard for the live draft threads to remain spoiler free on here, though there’s always someone who doesn’t listen lol (not that this site will refresh quickly enough anyways ::))

I meant second from Left (Seth somebody...I like him)...And Steve sounded good....Get rid of the guys on the end and put Chauncey and Bilas in there. It takes 4 winners to make a draft night...not two!

If all of you can do it, that’s awesome.
I just can’t moderate it to be spoiler free. There’s too much posting, the high volume will cause time outs to happen. Especially around the start and when the Celtics pick draws near.

Lol already suffering connection problems on this site. Brace yourselves! :P

No problems on my end yet. *knock on wood*

Now it's fine for me, but honestly it just varies for many folks. Just wait until the picks actually start getting called/announced (starting about 15-20 minutes from now) :laugh:

Oh brother they're bringing the entire draft out one-by-one with their families.
Just overkill. Start the draft!

LOL Woj, even when they tell you to stop spoiling, you still spoil... ::)
Anyways I knew Bamba/JJJ/Bagley were long shots, but still hoping (slim chance) that we trade up enough to nab Carter, who I also view as underrated in this Draft.
-
anybody thinking Danny pulls a bunny out of the hat ? ;D
Watching DiVincenzo highlights now..
-
My short list:
Thomas
Bates Diop
Wagner
Allen
Hutchinson
Divincenzo
-
Woj now reporting that the Clippers and Nuggets are preparing for the possibility Porter falls to them. LAC has 12+13, DEN has #14.
-
when does it begin? i ve already been watchin 35 mins of meaningless tv
-
Silver nobody cares. Just announce the picks!!!
-

Just over 2 minutes until Phoenix has to announce their pick!
-
Woj now reporting that the Clippers and Nuggets are preparing for the possibility Porter falls to them. LAC has 12+13, DEN has #14.
Porter falling to the Clippers could be big for their pursuit of Kawhi. Still doubt they have enough, though.
-
Stein, no longer on ESPN, doesn't follow rules and is tweeting that PHO is about to select Ayton at #1. As expected.
-
wow ....at this rate it will what ? another hour ...LOL

they even got rid of the Bilas best available ticker.... :P

Actually... 12 + 13 + Harris + Beverley is pretty enticing especially if they draft Porter.
Or 12 + 13 + Jordan + Beverley player FOR Kawhi + Mills

Oh [dang] my bad :blank:
-
Mrs. Saltlover thinks that Ayton is a very sharp dresser.
-
Forgot that I was on NBATV instead of ESPN and missed the entire first pick. 🙄
-
Are they not showing Silver announce the picks? I think I"m watching the wrong channel!!!
Where is it? ESPN 2?
-
The Sacramento Kings are about to make it official, league sources say, and draft the player they've been calling "their guy" ... Marvin Bagley III
Oops.
Holy moly.
Stein is on fire LOL
-
Forgot that I was on NBATV instead of ESPN and missed the entire first pick. 🙄
I'm on ESPN and missed it too!
-
One closer to Boston
-
LOL Stein is literally giving a huge F U to ESPN it seems by tipping the picks.
Anyways, if you don't want spoilers, DON'T follow Stein on Twitter right now :P
-
Bagley to Sac.
Now the draft really begins. Those two were locks all along.
-
one down 26 more to go ....
crickets , snore , wake me

WOW, ATLANTA AND DALLAS TRADE! :o
-
Dallas gets their shooter to go with Smith
-
WOW, ATLANTA AND DALLAS TRADE! :o
Lol Hawks fans must be heated
-
Atlanta and Dallas deal!
Danggggg! Atl is really going to draft Young at 5?! Maybe that means Bamba drops and we have a chance!
-
I wonder what Mavericks can even offer the Hawks..?
-
WOW, ATLANTA AND DALLAS TRADE! :o
Lol Hawks fans must be heated
yup
all 5 of them ...mad at once
-
So do we have a chance at a Bamba/Carter now in the 6-10 range?? :o
-
I love Maria Taylor js
-
I wonder what Mavericks can even offer the Hawks..?
Heard it’s pick swaps and Bazemore for Matthews.
EDIT:Or maybe not, just an extra pick.
-
I wonder what Mavericks can even offer the Hawks..?
Heard it’s pick swaps and Bazemore for Matthews.
Ugh this is so frustrating... I want Doncic so bad LOL.
Dallas will send a future first-round pick with various protections over the next five seasons to Atlanta along with No. 5 to acquire the third overall pick from Atlanta, league sources say
-
Doncic for Trae and a future 1st is an absolute heist by Dallas!
-
Yeah ATL IMHO messed up. Should have kept Doncic.
-
WOW, ATLANTA AND DALLAS TRADE! :o
Details [dang it]! Give us details, ;D
-

I’ve only been obsessing about him for the last 20 months.
-
I know they exaggerate heights a bit and few inches difference here or there could be tough to notice, but Ayton doesn't 7-1" to me at all.
-
It’d be funny if Memphis blew up their plans and took Young at four lol
-
Atlanta blew it with Trae Young..wow
-
WOW, ATLANTA AND DALLAS TRADE! :o

Young + Future 1st for Doncic. WOW what a steal for Dallas :o
-

They’d do the Hawks a favor

Atlanta is stupid. I don't even get the Trae Young infatuation.. They are going to regret this trade for years.

I like him in Dallas though. Get Dirk to teach him that funky fadeaway
-
Bamba will be there at 6.
c’mon Magic, let’s make a deal.
-
Does this mean Schroder is a goner?
-
Bad teams are bad for a reason. Hoping Danny is on the phone with Orlando right now to snag Bamba.
-
Looks more and more likely BOS is staying put. According to Washburn too (Twitter)
-

And his doo ... ;)
-
Atlanta is stupid. I don't even get the Trae Young infatuation.. They are going to regret this trade for years.
Owners apparently think he’s more marketable, and since winning didn’t put fans in the seats, maybe this will.
-
Doncic is a steal at 3! What is Atlanta thinking?
-
Boston not willing to give up core pieces to move up. Thank goodness
-

say no to crack !

Good to see the likely top 4 players in the draft all out West in Ayton, Bagley, Doncic, and JJJ!
-
Why do I have to watch these guys talk? Would much rather see the actual announcement of each pick.
Mike
-
Dang, unless the Hawks got an unprotected first rounder next year, the hawks just BLEW IT!
Hopefully them picking Young gives the Magic more incentive to trade us #6 for Rozier, SAC 3019, and an additional pick
-
Atlanta is such a poorly run organization
-
Dang, unless the Hawks got an unprotected first rounder next year, the hawks just BLEW IT!

-
Wonder what it would take to pry Bamba away from Orlando?
-
Really hoping it takes Bagley couple of years to put together how to play in the NBA. He was pretty clueless on defense in college, and Sacramento does not have a great track record of developing athletic bigs.
-
They're reporting that there's minimal protection on that extra Dallas pick, too. ::)
-
JJJ looked like he was REALLY forcing that smile when they called his name for Memphis lol
He clearly told them he didn't want to play for them. Denied workouts, medicals, and refused to interview with them LOL.

So LeBron's not going to Atlanta?
Mike
-
Omg the future pick is top 5 protected?? Nice one Hawks
-
Really surprised by Trae Young going #5. Excited to see what he can do next year.
I am not optimistic about him but I wasn't about Kemba Walker either. These small guards have been doing better in the NBA over the last 5-7 years.
-
Shams is breaking trades before they happen on Twitter now lol Already called Orlando.
-

Great trade for Dallas to get Doncic. ATL will regret that.
-

copying Phily
the provess take all centers
-
Trae seems like a nice kid
-
Orlando going to start five 7 footers
Teams will average 70 points against them but they will only score 50.
-
Bamba to Orlando. I guess that means there's still hope for us to nab him later on this evening. #stillhavingfaith
-
Shams is breaking trades before they happen on Twitter now lol Already called Orlando.
So much for their agreement to not spoil
They’re all spoiling ;D
-
Not a good fit either lol
-
I have never ever heard Trae Young talk, but his voice is kind of funny LOL. He seems like a good kid, I do wish him luck, but not too optimistic.
-
Magic seem like a lost organization along with the hawks
-
Bamba to Orlando. I guess that means there's still hope for us to nab him later on this evening. #stillhavingfaith
It’s not worth giving up Brown up over.

Mo Bamba!!
Pulling hard for this guy. He has a lot of really good qualities.
-

Magic needs were perimeter shooting, and point guard/scoring.
They decide to go with a defensive big lol.
-
Dont look like Bamba was happy with being pick by orlando
-
Lol now Woj is breaking them early, too. That didn't last long ::)
-
Orlando taking Bamba would be a dumb pick
I think they are taking him.
There he goes.
-

Yes indeed.
-
well looks like we are holding tight...who knows if any of the Bamba rumors were true or not....
lets get someone lucky at 27!
-
Wow, Porter really is going to fall. Does Cleveland take a flyer on him if Chicago doesn't take him, which I seriously doubt will happen?
-
Orlando is putting together a really good volleyball team.
-
Thank you Danny for not reaching with the core of this team.
We would like to see this team play together
-
Bamba being traded to the C’s later tonight just feels right. Maybe Ainge can pull it off.
-
Okay, that is the last guy I was interested seeing where he goes. I'm done.
-
Just tuned in. Can anyone do a recap since I missed the first 4 picks?
-
Orlando is putting together a really good volleyball team.
outstanding middle blocker for the Magic!!
I guess he might be able to be a right side hitter?

This is why the East sucks.

is it just me, or is this draft a tad boring?
-

I thought Trae would be the “falling guy” but it looks like Porter.
-
Carter is a no brainer for the bulls
-
Wendell Carter seems like the pick for the Bulls.
-
Back and hip concerns. I’d be worried about Porter too.
-
Porter to bulls
Called it lol
-
Well, perhaps we can barter with Orlando OR Chicago for one of those bigs now :P
-
Hope cavs dont get Porter
-

A little surprised with how active I'm hearing Ainge has been. I get that you have to explore everything, but Job 1 for the Celtics would seem to be not doing anything to get in the way of what you already have... And what the Celtics have now is more than competitive.

I'm surprised anyone is surprised. His job is to check every possibility, rate every player, and have a very long list of deals he would accept just in case one comes true. Even if there's a 90% chance of standing pat. It's literally what makes him a better GM than most.

Knicks fans are pumped... LOL
low IQ
They wanted Porter. Not the brightest bunch lol
-
Time to see who’s next to be hyped for years by Philly fans :P
-
Love Sexton for the poor Cavs. ( I won’t hate the team with LeBron gone! )
Amazing, tough competitor.
He almost single-handedly beat Minnesota in an early season tournament championship game playing 4 vs 5 for TEN MINUTES. It was a sight to behold.
-
I really don't like Billups analysis. Maybe it's just me?
Yeah, none of it seems like independent thought either.
Like he’s just briefly looked at mocks and stats and gone “Oh, they must play like ____”
-
I have a feeling 76ers will go after Bridges, but Porter falling that far? Wow. His medicals must be REALLY bad.
-
Sixers are going to have a really interesting choice at 10. Porter or Mikal Bridges. Quite a contrast.
It'd be so hilarious if they picked Porter and he ended up missing his rookie year with back issues ;D Classic Sixers. That'd be four years in a row that their rookie missed more games than they played.
-
Doncic apparently broke down upon news of the trade yelling "I don't want to go to Dallas!" in Slovenian.
Awkward..
Source?
Woj

Banned from Celticsblog
:laugh:
This just shows what a Twitter noob I am. Still don't have an account
Man see picture, must be Woj lol
-
Wonder if the C's may be willing to trade into 11-14 if Porter is there. Could Ainge gamble?
Yeah I’m thinking likewise. Celts understand back injuries. May not be as scared.

nbadraft.net has been nailing it. Their mock draft had Young and Bamba swapped, but other than that theyve been spot on.

Call the Clips to trade up for Porter.
-
So what's the final tally on the Kyrie trade?
Kyrie for Sexton, Hood, Zizic, Clarkson, Nance, and a 2nd? Talk about quality for quantity! I think we can affirmatively say that we won that trade.
TP for bringing a smile on our faces.

I think they want him, if not to keep but to put in a Kawhi trade.

Porter will fall to the Clippers

They have two picks and can afford to take a chance on him.

To me it seems like we're already in probably bust land with the selections of Sexton and Knox.
Edit: Bridges is a good pick and fit for Philadelphia.

LAST 6 DRAFTS
No. 1
Deandre Ayton
Markelle Fultz
Ben Simmons
Karl-Anthony Towns
Andrew Wiggins
Anthony Bennett
No. 3
Luka Doncic
Jayson Tatum
Jaylen Brown
Jahlil Okafor
Joel Embiid
Otto Porter
I’d MUCH rather have No. 3 group
Me too!

Dang these players got some nice looking moms 👍🏼

Charlotte is discussing trade possibilities with the 11th pick, league sources tell ESPN. Phoenix has wanted to get back into lottery to get one of elite point guards. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is focus here.

Lowkey expecting a Kemba trade soon lol.

alot of these moms were teens having babies.

If I'm the Clips with 2 picks in a row, I take a chance on Porter, Jr. He's head and shoulders above the rest of the draft in talent, and you still get whoever is #1 on your board right now (if not him).

Yep, same here. You definitely have to take the chance on him at that point.

If LAC lands Porter with one of these next two picks, add in a DeAndre Jordan or Tobias Harris in a package and that could really get the Spurs listening.

Medical history and back issues. Looks like teams are more aware now about there being more risks than originally thought.

You take that risk. He's one of the most versatile scorers I have ever witnessed. His game is smooth, and not reliant on athleticism. Shooting is at a premium nowadays...

Nobody wants Porter!

I'm confused. Why would LAC do this when they were picking next? Was Charlotte threatening to take him at 11?

Porter to charlotte is my guess

Wow... Shams really killing it right now... If only you guys could see this..

charlotte perhaps via the clips pick. may be worth taking a swing for the fences type pick for them now.

What on earth? Porter must be cooked
-
Porter dropping...Denver? Washington??
-
I'm confused. Why would LAC do this when they were picking next? Was Charlotte threatening to take him at 11?
Most likely another team a bit lower than the Clippers was trying to move up. Hornets get their man and two 2nds as a bonus, instead of risking not getting him.
-
Shams is the MVP!
Even last year during FA it felt like Shams > Woj more often to be honest.
-
I really hope we can get MPJ... He could be a top 5 talent in this draft, when it's all said and done.
-
Man this mock draft has been on point.
http://www.nbadraft.net/2018mock_draft
Only missed on bamba young swap.
-
Can't imagine Porter gets past LAC or DEN at 13 or 14, but if he does at what point does Danny see some value there and try and nab him, especially given that we can give him all the time in the world to heal and recover?
Clearly none of the core players or the better picks (SAC, MEM) would be up for grabs, but the LAC pick and our own picks could be in play.
-
The West is adding a ton of talent/studs, and the East is adding a lot of wild cards/bust potentials.
Just IMO.
-
League sources say the Clippers have been trying to lure the Spurs into Kawhi Leonard trade talks with an offer featuring their two lotto picks and Tobias Harris, but it appears they'll be making the 12th and 13th pick for themselves — with Michael Porter Jr. still on the board.League sources say the Clippers have been trying to lure the Spurs into Kawhi Leonard trade talks with an offer featuring their two lotto picks and Tobias Harris, but it appears they'll be making the 12th and 13th pick for themselves — with Michael Porter Jr. still on the board.

Woj is reporting that Denver is seriously considering Porter with their pick.
Man, virtually all of the offensive talent has gone out West this draft and would only be worse if Porter heads to Denver. Crazy disparity.

You wouldn't trade the Sac pick straight up for the chance to draft Porter? How confident are you that the Sac pick will yield a player better than him? I think a player of Porter's ability healthy is better than the best case scenario for the Sac pick.
-
Yeah I don't see the Wizards passing up on MPJ.
Apparently Gortat also said he was headed West, and that it's pretty much 99% guaranteed.
So we'll see what happens..
-
Wow Jerome Robinson at 13
-
I'm guessing we're pretty much staying put at #27, AND keeping Rozier.
I truthfully don't think it's worth packaging Rozier just to go up like 4-5 spots this draft.

Wow... Shams really killing it right now... If only you guys could see this..

Probably not with his injury concerns. Given his talent level and potential (probably has the highest ceiling in the draft), those injury concerns must be severe if he is falling this far.

Who is Shams?

Would have liked Robinson in Boston
-
I read a medical opinion on MpJ. Basically his hip is a separate but serious problem and completely different from the bad back
He has 2 red flags

I think a lot of teams want a rookie to start getting some minutes now. Celts are a team that wouldn't be afraid to sit him out the whole rookie season to get healthy.

MPJ at #14 finally

Dannnnggggg. Would've liked to somehow nab Porter, but oh well.

Divincenzo
Walker

JJJ compared to Joakim Noah in defensive intensity? Really you couldn't have chosen anyone else?
Saying you should draft for need instead of BPA?
He praised the Bamba pick, even though he considered Bamba to be extremely skilled center?
He's a great player, and he has good insight, but not in the NBA draft. He's been COMPLETELY off base on pretty much every comparison. Also don't let the fact we drafted him cloud your judgment, I said I love him as a player, but he is not that great at insight on draftees.

either one of Jacob Evans or Bruce Brown could be our pick. Both had a second workout with the team.

Not surprised. Felt like it was always between CLE vs. LAL.
That said, it's nice if he leaves the East AND doesn't go to Philly.

Alright, my bad guys I apologize. I took a bathroom break and suddenly heard he was taken at #16 in the media. Figured it was already well-known around here. I apologize again.

Philly traded their guy bridges at 10 to Phoenix for 2 picks and Zhaire Smith
Philly loses that trade
-
Philly is going to be a problem.
-
Bad trade by Philly. Think Bridges was a great fit for them
-
Say what? So Zhaire Smith now going to Philly and Mikhail Bridges to the Suns? Interesting.
I wonder if Philly is thinking about the Kawhi trade and doing this mainly for that extra Heat pick.
Hell of a get for the Suns, though. Ayton and Bridges!

Umm... Didn't the 76ers needed shooters? They lost one of the best 3 & D wings, for Zhaire Smith, who has a lot of skill and talent, but not a promising shooter.
-
Sixers should have kept Bridges.

Wow..Bridges family got a huge gut punch now
I feel so bad for his mom. But it's also kinda hilarious

Crazy final minutes Suns were selecting DiVincenzo but got trade call from Philly and instead made trade with Philly for Mikal Bridges
Bridges mom is going to curse Suns for the rest of her life LOL
-
Bad trade by Philly. Think Bridges was a great fit for them
Maybe they like the other guy better? In the draft, you just never know who can play and who can't (especially late in the lottery).

From what I understand Zhaire is a great athlete without actual bball skills.

That's an unprotect 1st and 2021 draft is when the NBA may allow high schoolers to be drafted. Coach Brown channeling Hinkie.

Yeah but Bridges is a pretty known commodity - 3&D athletic wing who won 2 national championships. Zhaire Smith is a fantastic athlete, but little else
-
LeBron James is reportedly zeroed in on signing either with the Cleveland Cavaliers or Los Angeles Lakers in free agency.
The Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers were initially on James' list, but the comfort of his family in Northeast Ohio or Los Angeles appears to be a factor.
"I don't think Houston is in the running," said Brain Windhorst. "I don't think his family feels comfortable going to Houston. I think where his family is going to be qualifies the teams. You have to get by his wife, Savannah. And his sons to say "yes."
"I think L.A. and Cleveland pass that and that's why their in the driver's seat right now."

Jackson closed out the year amazingly. Underrated is a pretty weird criticism for him
-
I like that trade for the Sixers actually.
Get more assets, get a player who has good defensive upside because of his athleticism. Not a bad trade, especially with Miami probably heading to the lottery anytime soon as Dragic is getting older and they don't have anyone that can be as close to an all-star there.
-
Nooooo :(
-
Screw You Milwaukee
-
Alright Ainge, give them the clippers pick and trade up
-
The Philly trade is not a bad one... IF they can trade for some star also using that 2021 Pick. Otherwise... Bridges was the perfect fit for a team that needed shooting.
-
Dang, DD to Milwaukee. Adds another athletic pest to a team full of pesky defenders.
-
[dang it]! Allen it is
-
Now I have to hate the Big Ragu! Screw Milwaukee lol

A lot of good players still out there
Ten more to go. Someone please take Okogie
-

That Heat pick is going to be money... Heat have a terrible future once Dragic/Whiteside leaves.

Yeah, that trade was Ainge-esque sneaky good; I think that pick is gonna be really good as the current Heat core looks like something that will crash and burn in a few years. And I don't see talent-wise much difference between Bridges and Zhaire
-

It’s scary accurate
-

Jackson, Booker, Bridges, Ayton is a nice core.
Phoenix probably had the worst defense in the league. So they just are going to try to outscore the rest with Booker, Warren, Bridges and Ayton.

I disagree. I don’t think Riley will let them just crumble, and I see a considerable difference in terms of immediate impact between the two prospects.
-
Danny, I'd like a trade up to take Robert Williams please.
It’s interesting how far down he’s going, but I agree with it. I think he’s really had trouble guarding stretch bigs, and his offensive game is obviously limited.
-
At this point we will be lucky to get Grayson Allen
-
God please let bates Diop, Thomas, Williams, Hutchinson or Allen be there at 27

A little surprised with how active I'm hearing Ainge has been. I get that you have to explore everything, but Job 1 for the Celtics would seem to be not doing anything to get in the way of what you already have... And what the Celtics have now is more than competitive

Yeah, what's up with that?
Well, NBADraft has him at 21, so he's not really "sliding" yet.
NBADraft.net? I thought you said that that site was garbage ;).
I did. But then apparently they nailed all the picks, so what do I know...

What's wrong with Williams?

REALLY HOPE WE GET HIM.

What's wrong with Williams?
Nothing that I know of from a physical standpoint. Maybe his interviews or tryouts were not as good as expected. Would be nice to have an assortment of bigs from which to select at our draft spot.

Robert Williams right now is my DREAM. Very underrated if at #27
-
any chance we trade back out of the 1st round to somewhere in the early 2nd??

They have inside connections and I'm talking about people at the "pro" level when it comes to control over the dissemination of information.

Boston will get brown or Evans in my opinion
Second workout guys
Brown....they knew it all along .....all their main objectives would drop.
well suck ....he won't be worth a turd
waste of time
-
Boston destined for defensive guard that can’t shoot. More Semi and Smart
It's the 27th pick. It's a victory just to draft a guy that can stick in the league.

I'll be psyched if we get either Robert Williams or Mitchell Robinson.

Not a guard. Also, he looks like Kyle Korver compared to Smart ;)

Will be interesting to see if Robert Williams is still on the board at 27 for the Celtics. Was regarded as a potential late lottery pick a year ago, but suspensions and work ethic haven’t helped his case this past season.
Poor/questionable work ethic = do not want.

Isn't it amazing that in a world where we have a 64 or more NCAA tournament and however the heck are in the NIT...that by the time you get into the early 20's of the first round, there's not a lot of players worth getting excited about?

and dont forget Rondo

Boston finally on TV. Lol
-
I don't want a big with this pick. We've got Horford, Theis, and hopefully we bring back Baynes or another MLE vet big to fill the center minutes. I'd prefer a guard to give us insurance for Smart and Rozier.

Yes and no.
It's a waste of time in that most of the guys you scout will be gone.
It's not a waste in that good scouting can be the difference between Jimmy Butler and Marshon Brooks.

2 years ago Danny took a center from Michigan I think (can't remember his name) with either the last pick in the first or 1st pick in the 2nd and promptly traded him to Memphis for a song. Why? Because the C's were running a tight budget and that's why Danny picked TWO not just one projects specifically to stash overseas (Yabu and Zizic). The C's wouldn't be in the spot they're in now needing a talented big like that if they held onto that guy. With 2 years of experience under the right system, right coaching and right culture like the C's have, C's would have beaten the Cavs IMO in the ECF...and wouldn't have gone 7 and probably not even 6 despite the Cavs adjustments.

Cannot shoot. At all. Like, early career Dwight Howard bad.

Does Williams have the fire in the gut that guys like Smart have? I’d feel so much better about him if someone could argue “yes”.
-
Well, that was a bummer. I kinda like the chant I came up in another thread to be heard in the TDG: "The Germans are coming, the Germans are coming" when he and Theis subbed in on the 2nd unit with occasional rewards given based on performance to start certain games to give our other bigs some time off or step up when the C's have an injury.

Lots of people here will be mad once Silver announce our pick

Fultz replacement :laugh:

Woj said we picked. Ainge got a steal

You know the Ainge is going to pull a Belichek and pick some tuba player projected to go 45th in the 2nd.

Love.the pick!!!
Couldn't ask for more from the 27
-
I like the pick a good gamble late.
-
Wow Ainge didn’t mess this up :D
-
Williams will be another Jordan. He will be good for Boston. Wonder what it does for Baynes.
-
But if Danny takes Williams I assume he’s kicked the tires???
Right?
Been a while since we picked a guy who flamed out because of lack of effort.
-
Draft Williams and trade him with Rozier for Bamba.
-
I think Shamet is a very good pick for Philly. They need another guard who can play right now and shoot with Redick likely gone and possibly Bayless too.
-
Get ready for the next Fab Melo if we pick Williams.
Or DeAndre Jordan?

I feel Williams.

Everyone takes guards, for Boston smart to do the opposite.

Makes perfect sense. Lot of intriguing names still out there and no 2nd rounders unfortunately at Ainge's disposal. Think he can purchase a pick?
-
Williams is a lottery-level talent, a player with immense talent. If he can show a commitment to playing hard, this could be a steal of the first-round. ESPN's @Mike_Schmitz compares him to another 27th overall pick: Clint Capela.

YESSSSSSSSS we gotva big!!!!

He will wear Danny's #44

Perfect guy to learn from Horford.

What a steal! And we wanted to trade up to get him. Can’t believe Lakers took Wagner.
-
We should be able to coach him into a significantly better shooter than 2-30 from three and 46% from the line. He looks like a beast defensively.
-
I think Danny is evolving.
I've seen him pass on these type of players so many times I can't believe it.
Great swing for the fences.
-
Thank God we didn't let GSW snag Williams
-
Really hope Danny buys a 2nd rounder and picks Jevon Carter
-
top 5 athlete in the draft catching lobs from Kyrie.
Yeah, if he can earn any playing time.
Anyone we picked at this point was going to have a very difficult time earning playing time next year.
-
definitely a swing-for-the-fences pick. fills a thin position on the team and has the physicality to make it. hoping the questionable drive is a non-factor.
-

Buy a pick and get Trent Jr

Great pick for #27! He could be the interior beast we've been looking for?
-
Exactly what the bench needed. A big that can defend and is athletic.
Look at the guys Boston can throw at Embiid: Williams, Theis, Horford and maybe Baynes
That is some seriously different looks
-
Yes!!!!! Williams cost himself a lot of money by not coming out last year and I love it. Texas A&M was a lousy fit for him.
-
Brad will figure out how to take advantage of his strengths and hide his weaknesses. Really pleased. He would have gone top 10 in last year’s draft.

“Boston has nobody who can catch lobs” Theis and Al say hello
-
Didn’t think DA would go for a non stretch, non passing big.
Hopefully it's the "moneyball" concept. The key is finding guys who have become undervalued.
-
Great, Ainge takes a guy with questions about his work ethic, etc. ::). If Danny can get a second rounder for, say, Yabu, or whatever, and take Rawle Alkins, I guess that I could be okay with gambling on Williams, but, man, taking guys with concerns pertaining to their work ethic is NEVER a good idea, imo, so they better be sure about this, to put it mildly.
-
You all are hyping me for this kid. Let the season begin!
-
Excellent pick at #27. BPA, and immensely talented. Plus he fills a need as well. Low risk pick, with the potential for a high return. Awesome job DA.

If high upside guys fall (which is what happened here). Usually by late 20s it is seasoned college guys who will help fill out a bench (Delonte West’s).
In all likelihood this guy will never be a starter. But Boston is a good landing spot for him. If Stevens can’t light that fire no one can.
-
Cannot believe Thomas and Diop are still on the board
-
I’ve watched his clips. Reminds me a bit of Deandre Jordan
-
Didn’t think DA would go for a non stretch, non passing big.
Hopefully it's the "moneyball" concept. The key is finding guys who have become undervalued.
Williams passing is actually pretty good. That's the one area he improved in his sophomore season.

While that certainly makes for my primary concern with this dude, I'm also worried about the fact that Williams is a traditional big guy, as we all know as to how well those kinds of players have performed under Stevens, to date. Ugh.

ESPN/DraftXpress
Schmitz: Along with Walker, Williams has the potential to be the steal of the draft at No. 27 -- the same draft slot of a similar lob-catching, shot-blocking center in Clint Capela. While there are clear questions about Williams' motor, the rangy big man is without a doubt a top-10 caliber talent when fully engaged.
He's much more suited for the open NBA game than the role he played as a power forward with clogged paint at Texas A&M. Boston is the exact environment that Williams needs to rev up his focus and commitment to his craft. The Celtics could also really use a big in Williams' mold, as he'll be a tremendous lob threat for Kyrie Irving and the rest of Boston's offensive weapons.

I will trust ainge on Williams. I don’t know about his game but just watched a few videos. Seems to have zero offensive game beyon 4 feet from the basket. Aside from blocks it was hard to judge his defensem but he could be a good defender, a lot of athleticism it seems.
But zero 3 pointers and p--- poor free throws.

The clogged paint was only part of the story. They had a shoot first freshman point guard who sometimes took more shots in the game than their two very good bigs, Davis and Williams, combined. Their other guards/wings were lousy passers too.

We needed someone to defend Embiid.
Then Robinson should have been the pick. Kid with the size, talent an upside who could turn out to be better than Embiid (yeah, it's a bold statement but I stand by it) but his downside is being a substandard Olowokandi. Guess the risk assessment was too much for Danny (and especially the Wycs') to handle.

Post-Draft Analysis
Danny Ainge does it again. The rich get richer, as the Celtics add the No. 12 player in the ESPN 100 all the way down at the 27th pick. Concerns about Williams' off-court habits and some question marks about his knee sank his stock, but this might end up being the steal of the draft.
Williams' ability to protect the rim is something the Celtics covet, and he's now in a perfect situation to continue to develop his basketball IQ in one of the NBA's best cultures and player-development systems. -- Jonathan Givony

The report before the draft was the Sixers traded #39 to the Lakers so I guess Bonga was who they wanted.
I'm not sold on Smith but Bridges seemed like a low upside pick. Covington seems like his ceiling and they already have Covington.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean much to Thibs. He had 3 guys play 35+ mpg last year, and 5 with 33+ mpg.
The next highest after the starting 5 was 20.7, for Jamal Crawford.
I agree that Bates-Diop should get solid minutes. But with Thibs I have no clue

I cannot believe Baites-Diop fell so far... He's a solid player, with great two way potential.
Thibs won't play him until all of his players averaging 40 minutes gets injured lol.

He won't be a loss. And Yabu has better potential than him. Right now even Nader has more value, because he knows the system, the guys know him. Those are more important for players that aren't going to be playing anyway, mostly for lockerroom and practice.

Exactly. Ainge didn't say "we don't need more players". He just wants guys who can contribute 1 through 15 on the roster.
At the same time, there would have been no harm in buying a second rounder. I believe we had $5 million to spend, which resets July 1. Since we won't be using that money in all probability, the only cost would have been to Wyc's checkbook. Drafting some decent talent on a two-way deal would have been worth it in my mind.
But, it's almost completely irrelevant. Rawle Alkins is not going to be the difference between a playoff win versus a loss. Whoever we bring in to fill out our roster could be.

Ainge on if the team explored moving into the second round to add a pick: "We talked about it, but our roster, we don't need more young players, really."
I would like us to get rid of Nader and sign Rawle Alkins and Trevon Duval to 2-way contracts or 2 year minimum deals with a partial guarantee in year 1, like $25-75k.
Agreed Alkins will probably be given a chance to try out again for the team on a team friendly contract or 10 day contract.
Too late, as the Knicks have signed both Alkins and Trier on two-way deals :'(. I think. Sigh.
I also completely disagree with Ainge's assertion that, "we don't need more young players, really." ::) We can't possibly upgrade from Yabusele, Nader, and Allen, among others? Give me a break ::).
We can upgrade them with actual, honest-to-god NBA players instead of undrafted rookies
Exactly. Ainge didn't say "we don't need more players". He just wants guys who can contribute 1 through 15 on the roster.
At the same time, there would have been no harm in buying a second rounder. I believe we had $5 million to spend, which resets July 1. Since we won't be using that money in all probability, the only cost would have been to Wyc's checkbook. Drafting some decent talent on a two-way deal would have been worth it in my mind.

My understanding is that 2nd rounders weren’t being sold this year. The Bulls had egg on their face for selling Jordan Bell to the Warriors last year, and no one wanted to be that team this year. Would have probably required a future 2nd to get into this year’s draft, and as we didn’t NEED a 2nd, it makes sense to hold onto it for the future.

He won't be a loss. And Yabu has better potential than him. Right now even Nader has more value, because he knows the system, the guys know him. Those are more important for players that aren't going to be playing anyway, mostly for lockerroom and practice.
Naturally, I completely disagree, lol ;D, but do you really not think that he would have been a good player to have off of the bench, primarily owing to Smart's free agency, and how does Yabusele have better/more potential than Alkins? Dude couldn't even get on the court despite all of our injuries ::). Ugh.

If that's true, then why are Yabusele, Kadeem Allen, and Nader still on our roster, and where did I ever say anything remotely related to Rawle Alkins being the difference between a playoff win versus a loss, lol?
Do you honestly not believe that Alkins would be an upgrade over any/all of those three guys, because I certainly do. Injuries happen, as we've seen, unfortunately, and as a result I don't see any harm in trying to upgrade the team's overall talent by any means necessary. Sigh. I just, well, thought that he could help :-\.
At least he would have stayed up for the conference call ::)...

Honestly, it's far less about Alkins than it is, well, about taking a guy with a questionable motor and/or concerns pertaining to work ethic, as history tells us that these kinds of guys rarely pan out, which also means that we've potentially taken a roster spot away from a possible contributor, not to mention the fact that this could very well turn out to be a complete waste of money, imo, but whatever. It's not my cash, lol ;D.
Saltlover, himself, cited Gerald Green and James Young as the two most recent examples of Boston taking "lottery talents" who "somehow fell" in the draft, and, as it later turned out, for the very same reasons that have me concerned about Williams, i.e., motor and work ethic, but hey, who knows, maybe "Phone Home" will win the dunk contest, next year, and before his knee(s) give(s) out ::). Ugh.

Really??? Ugh, I was hoping they'd find some way to land a 2nd round pick (even if via purchase). There were a lot of intriguing names still there in the 2nd round IMO.
Also, we don't have a 2nd round pick next year either LOL unless if it lands between 31-55 I believe (otherwise at 56-60 it goes to OKC... again)
That said we could have as many as four first rounders next year! (Though hopefully it's 3 and the Grizzlies one doesn't convey for now) ;D

We have guards for days. Any guard we would have drafted would be end of bench fodder or Eurostash.I like the idea that we took a possible impact big at 27. Who knows if he'll turn out but whats done is done, we wait and see now..

I don't know the rules about 2way contracts but don't we already have our two that carry over from last season? Unless we are getting rid or signing one then I don't think we can add any more. Our roster is definitely full already, I really don't see us moving anyone to sign the 2ways we have now. IIRC, if we bring everyone back, our roster is full without our rookie already. There is no doubt in my mind that Monroe isn't out, so right now Rook is 15. Maybe we let go of Larkin but even then I think we will promote bird or sign a vet. That is the only way we can add another player or 2way if everyone (baynes and smart) returns.

Nader is a likely goner too.
I'm thinking...
Subtractions
Monroe
Nader
Larkin
Additions
Williams
Last 2 spots will go to either MLE guy, Wanmaker (if signed), Eddie, etc.

We just have one that carries over — Allen. Bird only signed a 1-year deal and is a restricted free agent who will almost certainly be back, but in Boston instead of Maine.

Thank you. so we have one 2way spot? can the spot go to that guy we signed as the 16th player? I wonder who we will use the spot on.

I was thinking about and I hope we sign a vet backup to JB. We don't have a SG to back him up and no, smart isn't that guy. I don't know who but we should find a shooter. It would be nice if JJ Reddick was ready to win and accept a bench role. We need someone like that, someone who can just shoot (of course they probably wont be JJ level shooter but of that cloth).

Like the Tony Carr pick. He gave Ohio State absolute fits.
I like that pick too. The Pelicans need help at that spot and he gets to battle Frank Jackson who did nothing for them last year, but I'm not sure he's fast enough for pg, but he's not really a fast type player. But that's a problem on defense

#14 N Little ( Alexander-Walker)
#20 K Okpala (L King)
#22 L King (Cam Johson)
this would be a wing heavy draft but a major talent haul. Would create major roster issues
NBADRAFT.NET
#14 Doumbouya ( Okpala)
#20 Clarke (Bitadze)
#22 L King (Thybulle
goal would be to draft and stash Doumbouya, another heavy wing group but with the draft and stash of Doumbouya and the game readiness of Clarke this would be a great outcome.
