  It's a special year for legit Centers. And here is the five guys I have my eye on.

 Number one Karl Towns I'm on record that Towns is my guy even thought everyone has Okafor rated #1 at center. Towns upside is out of this world.

 Two is Okafor he's Eddy Curry if Curry was motivated, smart and tough. Meaning Okafors strength and body is unreal he's just not a complete bonehead.

 Three Cliff Alexander only 6'9" but just watch him he dunks like Amare in his Prime.

 Four Myles Turner 9'11.5" standing reach, that's right he is a basketball hoops height. Amazing.
 He's no stiff either, not a great athlete but good hands, awesome shot blocker, huge guy, athletic enough with his huge frame to dunk everything near the rim. I got my eye on this kid too. Nice kid. Going to Texas.

 Five And here is where it gets good. My worst case scenario is the constellation prize named Wille Cauley Stein. He's not that good, needs a LOT of help on offense. But his upside is a poor mans Tyson Chandler which is great for this team.

 If you have any Info on any of these guys, or like someone else, chime in and give your take. TP's for any intel.

 Listen to Myles Turner speak, really intelligent likable kid. Stevens would love him Size 21 and still growing shoe size.

 Standing reach for Turner is 9'2" still really good.

Realistically alexandre would be a nice pickup to play the 4/5.  Bs and ainge are not drafting a center/pf that cant shoot. WCS is out of the question unless he really has improved his jump ahot. Harrell the same

Frank Kaminsky is also a possibility

Obviously it's Turner, he fits in with the Celtics philosophy...He shoots three pointers.

We would have took Embiid last year most likely if we were high enough and he does not shoot three pointers.   We are playing a style with the talent we have if we could get Towns or Okafor, I 'd wager Coach Stevens would change our style to match our talent.   He is not a system coach, like Pitino, who is prisoner to his own gimmick.

So can alexandre. Turner needs alot of time to bulk up. He has slim shoulders like JJJ.
