Drafting as if Hayward is not coming

[KG Living Legend]

 I just want to play around with some ideas and see who you like better in the draft if Haywood is not coming here. If Ante is really good that would be extremely helpful.

 Zizic
 Horford
 Tatum
 Bradley
 Thomas

 Horford
 Tatum
 Crowder
 Bradley
 Thomas

 Do you like these lineups. Let's add Hayward.

 Horford
 Tatum
 Hayward
 Brown

 Throw out some other roster ideas without Gordon Hayward

1)   I don't see a rookie starting this year. 

2)  I see a trade coming down at some point to address the lack of starting big men.




Anyhow, I think it is Brown who finds a way to earn a staring spot that allows the Celtics to move AB or Crowder to fix the PF/C issue.   (if no Hayward.   If Hayward, he could still earn that spot turning either AB or Crowder as the 6th man type)

Griffin possible?

Wouldn't mind rolling out with:

Horford
Porzingis
Melo
JB
IT

or

Horford
Blake
PG13
JB
IT

Either way I doubt any rookies we pick up would start. If any young guys force themselves into the starting lineup, it'd be Jaylen.

I think we draft the same player regardless of Hayward. You still have to pick BPA.

IT
Bradley
Crowder
KO
Horford

That's the most likely lineup if we miss out on max FAs. Use the cap space to renegotiate Isaiah instead.
