Let's just first assume this is true and not mis/disinformation.

I think I'd agree with all your guys, though IMO Huerter needs a great workout the most.

I'd also venture to guess Okogie, Melton or Milton, and Metu from USC maybe (though idk much about him) and a reach or two... Zaire Smith and Troy Brown come to mind.

In addition to the guys who have been mentioned, I'd add Khyri Thomas, Keita Bates-Diop, Jerome Robinson, and Mitchell Robinson to the list.

These guys may be 2nd round candidates but could move up to 27. Would love to trade down and get two guys.

Brandon McCoy
Rawle Alkins
Melvin Frazier
Jacob Evans
Kevin Hervey

I think we can cross off Huerter since he most likely has a promise from a team in the middle of the draft (rumor is that it is ATL at 19).

I think Okogie and Okobo are definitely in the mix tho.

Why base strictly off work outs? I doubt Celts are restricting their 10 list to that requirement. Why should we?

I forgot Okogie from the list

If the Cs have 10 players they are targeting in the first round I think it’s a safe assumption that includes in that 10 are players who they have brought to Aniston to merit with and workout.

Reaaallly like Jerome Robinson. His defense needs a little work, but not a lot. His super solid shooting is the thing that really grabs me. He made a ton of threes from NBA range

Great scouting page here: https://basketballscouting.wordpress.com/tag/jerome-robinson/

Can never have too many guys in the second unit who can create of the dribble. Especially if Marcus is brought back.

He looks like the perfect guy to be put next to Smart tbh

I don't think he'll be on the board by the time Boston picks, but if Mitchell Robinson is somehow still available I feel like his potential upside is too good to pass up.

Otherwise, I'm not really a fan of any of the other bigs who might be available late in the first round.

yes, the great mystery man. that is whom tankathon has the celtics taking at 27.  i have read up on him and it seems no one really knows what to make of him in terms of how well he will do in the nba. 

any insights from this board?

I'm starting to think that if the player the Celtics want isn't there at 27, they will probably trade down and pick up a 2nd round pick. Most likely with a team like Phoenix (31 and 59) or Dallas (33 and 54).

I'd be surprised if this is the route Ainge takes. We don't need more picks, the roster is already too crowded with fringe players as it is.

Boston really needs to consolidate more than anything.

So agree about this. With the way the league is going, feels like picking up a Whiteside, Jokic, even Capela in the second round, is getting less and less likely...

Also, this interview is bizarre. I kinda like that he says no more than absolutely required without even slightly coming off hostile. At first his answer to "what else would you be doing" comes off sounding pretty stupid, but then you realize he may just be a dyed in the wool baller. That "sir" thing to a journalist is cute.

Intriguing no doubt.

Trade it for a future 1st round pick.

There maybe good players in that spot, but I think we are all set and good to go even if we don't add any player with the guys coming back from injury.

Just move it and get a future 1st that we could use down the line.

But if we really are drafting somebody for it, if he's available, take Mitchell Robinson.

I'm inclined to agree, with Jontay Porter out of the draft.  Spellman looks like little more than a big 3 point bomber to me, and I like McCoy's potential based on his numbers but his weaknesses don't match up well with what our team requires of our bigs.

Yep.  I remember getting crap from everyone here when I said that was a bad sign.

Kostas Antetokounmpo

Hah, no.

"Another Greek Freak? While the younger brother of the Milwaukee Bucks superstar did not make a ton of noise in college, he quietly has top-30 projections in our NCAA, combine, international and AAU models (and 31st in our overall model). Kostas is an efficient scorer and elite shot-blocker; perhaps he'll also end up a late bloomer like his older brother, Giannis."

He is really quite a bad basketball player though. He didn't even start at Dayton, and he can't shoot from range or from the free throw line. He is most certainly not an NBA caliber player. Only getting looked at because of his surname really

Yeah, still no.  Calling Giannis a late bloomer compared to Kostas is absurd.  At the same age, Giannis had finished his second year in the NBA and was already giving average-to-above-average levels of production.  By this time in his career stardom was absolutely on the horizon.

Kostas didn’t play, and this model doesn’t know why.  That doesn’t mean there isn’t a good reason for it.

Huerter

Divencenzo

Spellman

Allen

J Evans

Alkins

with the addition of Alkins and Evans that gets the list of projected 1st round picks who have worked out for the Cs up to 6

J Evans

Alkins

B Brown

Brunson

Adding Brown means that 8 of the 10 players can be extrapolated from the team workouts. With Okogie rumored to be working out twice and Evans and Brown confirmed.

My guess at player who could be the last two based off of DA typical draft targets.

Melton
Diallo   
Duval
Troy Brown
Khyri Thomas
