Like everyone else on cblog, I'm getting excited about draft night.  Probably more than anything, I'm excited by the swirling trade rumors (some involving the Cs, some not). 

But all that aside, assuming Danny stays put at #25 and the draft more or less proceeds as anticipated (i.e.:Kyrie Irving is NOT still available at #25), and Danny has his choice between the usual suspects, who do you NOT want to see Danny pick?

Celtics fan for life.

Let me start this off:

I'm more or less okay with any pick, as I don't expect any player to contribute next year, which I view as the last year of the "window".

I can see the justification for a big man with upside (e.g.: Jeremy Tyler), or a young college player with, arguably, a ton of upside (e.g.: Tyler Honeycutt) or for a college tested player who delivered but wasn't as spectacular as players who were picked in the lottery (e.g.: Reggie Jackson). 

Where I have a hard time is with players like Marshon Brooks, who were unspectacular, but then had one good year, and whose skill (aka "volume shooting") might not transfer well to the NBA. 

So I guess I'm picking Marshon Brooks.

i cant really think of anyone, everyone projected in the 1st either has a little potential for the future or a shot and giving some minutes next year. I guess a pg with little potenial would be about it so maybe Nolan Smith, however id love him as a 2nd round pick
Mavs
Wiz
Hornet

I can't say there are any players I feel very strongly about in the range of what will be available at the 25th pick.

Justin Harper or Trey Thompkins. We have no need for bigs who dont rebound on this roster.

Kyle Singler.

I love Singler, but not for the C's with that pick.  So, I will second this one.

problem with saying Kyle Singler is that he would help us next season. With green as our back up 3 and a vet we sign as our back up 4 kyle would fit in nicely as our 3rd string at both positions.At the very least he is Scal.

I don't see how a 3rd string SF/PF helps our team, unless we are completely decimated by injuries.

Scal was only good for cheerleading and blowouts. I think we can get more from a first-round pick than that.
