That said, it would leave AB as somewhat the odd man out. It would be OK for a season, but in the long run Smart/AB/IT/Grant/Young is way too crowded.
I would be ok with trading AB to draft a guy like Booker to provide scoring punch.
At #16 we could take Grant or Myles Turner if he lasts that long. I do like Grant's passing ability, vision, and size. The NBA is moving more towards combo guards, but Grant appears to have better passing ability and floor-general ability than Smart coming out of college.
I'd be honest with you I'd rather have Jerian Grant at point guard than Smart. At least Grant can initiate the offense and keep his dribble alive. We selected Smart at 6th overall and he can't do that. Grant's 3 point shot also isn't as broken as Smart's coming out of college.

The fact that we are already discussing about potentially adding Lawson and even thinking about drafting a PG at 16 after we just wasted a top 6 pick on this bust just shows that Ainge knows this guy isn't the future of the PG position for the Celtics. Guy couldn't even beat out Jordan Clarkson for a spot on the All Rookie 1st team who was selected a whole 30+ picks after him. I don't know what the hell Ainge is doing in these drafts, but to only come out with a point guard who can't handle the basketball and draft a SG who can't defend or score in one of the deepest drafts in recent years is ridiculous. We could have drafted Julius Randle, Zach LaVine, or Noah Vonleh at 6 and Gary Harris or Rodney Hood at 17. Extremely disappointing.
