Cheick Diallo has been cleared to play at Kansas after academic eligibility concerns.

He's probably not good enough to challenge the top 5 but the kid has, good size, strong athleticism and a high motor. Makes this draft far more interesting if he starts putting up quality performances at Kansas.

I've been trying to lock down Skal Comparisons lately and have come up with a more low post oriented basket Chris Bosh. Bosh is better and P and R defense Skal could be better at rim protection. Think that'd potentially be a great fit for this roster.

We're idiots if we don't take Ingram.  He's a fit and fills a need.  Knowing Danny well take another point guard ::)

Wow, Ingram is amazing. The way he moves. The size but more importantly the agility and the explosive quickness with the quality ball handling. The dexterity ...

That guy is going to be a monster.

as has been stated so many times...draft for talent, trade for position. why take someone who is not as good a player simply because of a temporary need? eventually you wind up with lesser players populating your team.

as ever, ainge will take the bpa and let trades sort out the rest.

Unlikely. This draft is short on undersized guards who can't shoot.

The top 5 picks are never set in stone as early as November. Just look at pre-draft predictions from around this time over the past few seasons. See how many dropped out of the top 5 and how many sleepers rose.

Poeltl and Dunn are making a lot of noise to get into the top 7. One could go at 5 by the looks of things.

He's looked really good so far. But I really worry about a guy who's that skinny while being that tall and already having an extensive injury history with his knees and he's not even 20 years old yet.

Still like Jaylen Brown a lot. Fits our team perfectly. Love to see him show a good three ball this year.

Please elaborate on Ingram's injury history.  I haven't seen anything about it.
