Who is your #1 draft target for the C's? Be realistic please! :)

My #1 draft target is Myles Turner. TONS of potential. Almost 7 feet tall, can step out and shoot the three, potential to be fantastic rim protector. I think he would fit perfectly in Steven's offense since we need a rim protector but we also like to shoot the three. He was the potential to SERIOUSLY space the floor. IT could get to the rack even easier in that system. I really like this kid. Even though he does need t put on size and expand his basketball IQ, I think at our pick (Possibly #15) Turner would be the top prospect, even if we have to move up.

Turner is by far the best candidate even if we pick #9. he shoots 84% ft and really can block shots. He says he has not yet grown into his body...only 18, if he can then we hit the lotto

I do. His coach was terrible.

It's nice seeing him get exposed as overrated after having argued with fellow fans for years that he was overrated.. but I don't hate him. I'm looking forward to seeing him [...] bounce around to a couple more teams... eventually come back to Boston[...] and helps us as a role player until he runs himself out of the league.

I think that is the big question. After the mess of situation in Texas, we hardly know what this kid can do or not.

My modest Nr. 1 for the 15th pick, provided there are no sliders, is Poeltl. I love the defense. Great game to prove it tonight.

I do i think he's gonna kill it in the NBA. He's the optimal center for the C's offense. Danny needs to get him

I like Turner too, he would be good value outside the top 10 and as you say, a good fit. I don't think he's a home run, though - he may not be effective from NBA 3pt range (currently sub-.300 from the college 3pt line), and if he doesn't develop that he's probably non-starter material since he is unathletic, un-quick, not especially strong, and awkward/not fluid. He has touch and length, but with mediocre tools can he be a better-than-average interior scorer? His tools also raise questions about his upside on D - he can be solid for sure based on college numbers, but will he necessarily be an upgrade over Zeller on that end?

At #15 I'd be very excited if he fell to us. At #9 though there's a lot of options I like better: Porzingis, Hezonja, WCS, Winslow, Oubre.

I would stay far away from Turner, he looks like he will be injury prone.  He is 19 and he is already not moving right.  Immobile and doesnt like to bang in the paint.  Highest bust potential out of anybody in the lottery.

I bet if he averaged more points you would not be so harsh. Read a bit into his coach/lack there of. Turner hurt his stock big time by going to UT.

Justise Winslow is Ainge's guy. Solid all around game, helps immediately.

Agree, though Hezonja sounds like he could be a star.

I think you're absolutely right.  I tend to believe we end up with the tenth pick, all other factors being equal in the lottery (which, unfortunately for us, they rarely are) and am afraid Winslow might be gone by then.  Don't know much about Hezonja.  And I can't figure out Turner.  I'm going to work under the theory that DA knows better than I do.  Based on my layman's point of view, I'd like Winslow.

the usual, unsexy answer: BPA.

we've got holes everywhere on the roster.   we have a team of bench players.  no one's a complete player where we could say we're all set at a particular position.

This is largely how I feel about it as well.
