Below is listed most of players on the Celtics roster.
Judging only their talent level (not age or any other variable). Where would each of the following players fit if the draft were held today. Remember we are comparing relative talent only.
The numbers indicate the pick value their talent might hold.
Brandon Bass (6-10)
Avery Bradley (4-10)
Jay Crowder (12 -15)
Kelly Olynyk (4-10)
Phil Pressey (15-20)
Tayshaun Prince (7-10)
Marcus Smart (5-7)
Jared Sullinger (4-7)
Marcus Thornton (7-11)
Evan Turner (6-10)
Gerald Wallace (18-20)
James Young (10-15)
Tyler Zeller (5-8)
Sorry for not making my post clearer.
In essence I was trying to compare the ability/talent level of the players on the Celtics current roster to the ability/talent level of a comparable player just getting drafted this year. I'm not referring to any particular player's potential or what they've done in the past. This is strictly a talent vs. talent comparison for this year only. Also, I'm only inserting one Celtic player at a time in this mock draft comparison. Thus, if Marcus Thorton is considered equivalent to a 8 position. Then, when I compare Evan Turner to the 2014 draft list, Thorton comes off the list.
For instance, in the 2014 draft order looks like this.
Andrew Wiggins,Jabari Parker,Joel Embiid, Aaron Gordon, Dante Exum, Marcus Smart, Julius Randle, Nik Stauskas, Noah Vonleh, Elfrid Payton, Doug McDermott, Dario Saric, Zach LaVine, T.J. Warren, Adreian Payne, Jusuf Nurkic, James Young, Gary Harris, Bruno Cabocio, Mitch McGary, Jordan Adams, Rodney Hood, Shabazz Napier, Clint Capela, P.J. Hairston, Bogdan Bogdanovic, C.J. Wilcox, Josh Huestis, Kyle Anderson
Thus, Zeller's talent equivalent slot might fit between 5-8 in comparison to what those players in those positions have done this year.
