Who are the Celtics best three players right now.

[KG Living Legend]

 I'm going to say Thomas Smart and David Lee. I wanted to say Sullinger but I'm eating a bacon double cheeseburger right now so that made me go Lean with Lee.

[PhoSita]

Thomas, Amir, Lee.

Yep, three of the four oldest players on the roster.  I'd put solid odds on none of the three being here this time next year.

I think RedsArmy.com was correct in identifying Smart, Sully, and Crowder as three of the most important players on the team long term, though, whether they contribute to a team down the road or get turned into a better player or two.

[D.o.s.]

^ good post. Going to double down on the three most important players, too, since they've pretty clearly got the highest ceilings of our 'developing talent' (IMO YMMV )

[Endless Paradise]

The bacon double cheeseburger made you lean away from Sully?

Of course, Sully was leaning really close in once he saw the burger

[KG Living Legend]

 Yeah I could hear Sully coming, running towards me. I locked the door and finished my burger as quickly as I could, and he was crying when he found out it was gone.

Isaiah Thomas
Marcus Smart
Jae Crowder

(All based on last year's playoff run)

I know Im in the minority with this three but it's my opinion that IT, AB, and Zeller are the best 3. Though all three have huge flaws they are good at what they do more so than the other players on the roster. Amir, Smart and Sully would be my next three. Also want to say I don't believe Lee is good any more he is likely to produce the same as KO.

[Evantime34]

Smart, Thomas, Johnson

Not sure how Lee is going to be or if the injuries will allow him to be what he once was. I could see Bradley, Sullinger or Crowder taking a big step forward and being one of the top 3 as well.

[BornReady]

Smart, Thomas, Crowder

Wanted to say sully but injuries
AB seems down defensively

Lee and Johnson both had bad season last season but due to playing time and injury

[max215]

Thomas, Smart, Crowder.

Really good question, and not easy to answer.  I'm going to go

Smart
Johnson
Thomas

Arguments could easily be made for Bradley, Turner, sully, ko, Lee, Crowder, and zeller, and I would say at various times of the year all of them may play like they are in the top 3.  Looking forward to how it plays out.

[KG Living Legend]

 Bradley Sullinger and Thomas second attempt

[More Banners]

IT
Turner
Lee

And if there were two more players better than that, we might make a deep run.

But there aren't.
