Came accross this and thought others might enjoy this article. Jay King is one of my favorites to read and O'Connor akways has good assessments.

http://www.masslive.com/celtics/index.ssf/2017/01/2017_nba_draft_expert_thinks_m.html#incart_river_mobile_index

Some interesting topics discussed -

Fultz and IT fitting on same team
AB or Smart getting squeezed out
Zizic and where he would go if drafted this year
Depth of this draft

There's also a podcast included with a breakdown of a lot of players in the upcoming draft that are not discussed in the article.

Interesting. They think Zizic would go 11-15 in this draft, similar to Giles and Rabb.

Seems too high but O'Connor has a ton of contacts so I'm thinking his opinion might be shared with other NBA draft experts for him to put him 11-15.

 I'm feeling more like a draft Genius for predicting my first correct Celtics draft pick evrr, Ante Zizic.

 I'm probably the greatest Euro prediction guy ever for the Celtics at pick #23 in the history of the universe.

OT:


Wanna hear something funny?

I beat Jay King in the highschool superlatives as "biggest Celtics fan"


He wasn't even in second


I had NO idea he even liked the celtics until i saw his mass live stuff


He was always wearing pistons/jordan jerseys
I trust Danny Ainge
