I think the Celts should try to draft both of these prospects

Come from a great program and individually have underrated skills.  Would fit with this current unit/under CBS

If Divincenzo is still available at 27, I think he would be a great Smart replacement

I agree

unfortunately these two keep climbing up the charts. The Celtics may need to trade up if they want either

Spurs and 76ers also interested in both.  And they have earlier picks

I like this kid: ISAAC BONGA but only from highlights. He's so young and can already do a lot on the court. Like a Shawn Livingston type player.

I'm intrigued too, but haven't seen him play either.

I've seen Divincenzo's name associated with the Cs in mock drafts. He's done well at the combine. Like these two and Brunson. All three can be good rotation players which is all that you can hope for drafting that late. Nova reminds me of Butler too.

Isn't the rumor that Divincenzo is going to go back to school?

I think Brunson will struggle to make NBA.  His lack of athleticism really showed in NCAA final game.

Spellman looks like Greg Monroe in terms of foot speed.  Not really intrigued.

What else more can he accomplish going back?

He wont get past the Celts pick but likely go a few spots earlier

Danny Ainge Took Donte DiVincenzo To Lunch After Pre-Draft Workout This Week

Celtics President Danny Ainge took @NovaMBB 's Donte DiVincenzo to lunch after their workout this week, source says. Celts pick at No. 27 and are in the hunt for a 2nd-rounder also.

 :o

Was it B.GOOD or Chipotle!?!?!?

So Danny is either really interested, or he's trading down from #27 for sure and letting Donte go to another team.  :laugh:

The 2nd rounder part is interesting though. Looks like Danny is going to try in someway to acquire a 2nd rounder to go along with #27 (which they'll maybe keep and draft with too).

Yes. After the Final Four, he was mocked all over the place from late first to mid second round.  He entered the combine to feel it out and started he would leave now only if he solidified himself as a late first rounder.  Some believe if he returns for a year he will be a lotto pick.  At the combine, he did very well in the 5 on 5s (can watch on youtube).  He also interviewed with the Lakers, Cavs, Hawks, Wolves, Magic, and Blazers.
