Just curious how everyone ranks the current Celtic players.  Just on pure talent alone, who do you think the best basketball players on Boston are right now.  My guess is most folks will put Rondo #1.  Who do you think the 2nd best basketball player on the team is?  Who do you think the 3rd best is?  No cheating... this isn't about current trade value or how a player projects.  No doubt James Young has more trade value than Brandon Bass, but it's unlikely that James Young is a better basketball player than Bass at this moment.   Rank em. 

I created a poll you can use:  http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/gcmmyk/rank-the-celtic-players

Results can be viewed here:  http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/djgezy/rank-the-celtic-players/view

Let me know if there's a better method than polljunkie.  :)

I just mean... don't favor someone based on potential or position.  A lot of folks think Sully has star potential, but think hard before you rank him ahead of a player who is better right now.   Also, don't automatically assume Marcus Smart isn't currently a Top 5 talent on this team simply because he's not yet starting.   I want an honest ranking of who the best players on this team are right now. 

And sure... post how you voted :)

Oh okay, I thought you didn't want people to peek at each other's votes or something.

With that said:

Rank the Celtic players
Rajon Rondo
Jeff Green
Avery Bradley
Jared Sullinger
Marcus Smart
Kelly Olynyk
Brandon Bass
Marcus Thornton
Evan Turner
Tyler Zeller
Gerald Wallace
Phil Pressey
James Young

It was something along those lines.

17 responses in and it looks pretty tightly correlated with Brad Steven's actual rotation.

RR+JS+JG+AB+KO as starters

MS+BB+ET+MT+TZ as the rest of the ten man rotation.
