After seeing the article on the front page about creative lineups, I got to thinking about all the prestige talent the C's have now, but how the best player on the team was the last pick in the draft. So which creative line up would beat the other - Celtics line up of Top 10 Picks or Celtics line up of Second Rounders?
Top 10 Picks
Smart (#6, 2014)
Hayward (#9, 2010)
Brown (#3, 2016)
Tatum (#3, 2017)
Horford (#3, 2007)
Vs
Second Rounders
IT (#60, 2011)
Bird (Jabari not Larry) (#56, 2017)
Crowder (#34, 2012)
Ojeleye (#37, 2017)
Baynes (Undrafted)
The Top 10 picks probably take it, anchored by Hayward and Horford, and young legs and potential from Brown, Tatum, and Smart's knack for winning plays...
But I wouldn't sleep on the chip on your shoulder /underdog mindset and toughness from The Second Rounders...IT would keep that team competitive on offense, but the unproven Bird and Ojeleye would probably be their downfall.
What do you think? If those 2 teams played each other, how close would it be?
