Someone from WSU should have ran his fade or should next game.

A final note is that for the Sixers, if we can't get Porter, I wouldn't be mad if the Celtics get the pick and we get the Kings pick next year. outside of Porter, I don't see not being an awkward fit for the Team. We need sharp shooting wings and this year's lottery doesn't offer much in that regard.

what about mikal bridges

everyone's been saying he will be a good fit and that may be the case, but out of the top 5/ 6, the talent level drops significantly. I'd rather we miss out this year and get a high draft pick from the Kings the year after, I doubt anyone believes they will be any better next year. lol

It's hard to see the Celtics drafting Luka at 2. Sure he might be the better talent, but a dominating Big seems to be the missing piece of their puzzle. They have their franchise PG, all start (and future allstar) wings, and Hayward, but he's not the rim protector/ rebounder that the Celtics need.

If porter drops someone might get the best player in a lit class outside the top 3

If the c’s land at 2, and Doncic is still on the board, Ainge will absolutely try to trade down. Get #3 & add another rotation player for depth.

This would be my assumption, unless they plan on letting Smart walk this summer, which I highly doubt.

He’s who I want...hopefully that Lakers pick is 6th and people in the top 5 are all in on the big men, Doncic and Trae Young

 

[ballinsam23]

Gut feeling says BOS drafts Doncic with any pick they get. Thats where I want him to end up anyway. Spurs east for years.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Doncic really doesn't make sense in Boston. They're definitely going big.

It's the only thing they're missing.

 

[ballinsam23]

My thought process is they'd want a veteran defensive big, not a young prospect.

Smart on his way out, Jaylen can fit that defensive role and Luka is already a better playmaker and shooter than both.

Smart isn't on his way out unless somebody offers him a serious bag.

 

[ballinsam23]

A desperate team will. Celtics can afford to lose him in the position they're in. Rozier + Brown makes Smart expendable.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You can never predict what Danny will do tbh

What seems conventional wisdom has never been his wave, and it's worked out just fine

As much as i or anyone thinks bamba would fit perfect you just never know

I still say bamba or trade for ad

 

[rook]

Boston getting AD imo

 

[ineedacape]

Aaron Holiday will be the suprise of this draft if he declares

He was on my valued upperclassman list. Seems to have a nice floor

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The oddest smooth game I've seen in a long time, like he's not slow but he's definitely not in a hurry lol.. it's as if he lulls you to sleep

 

[Moheezy]

Crazy how he just strolls to whichever spot he chooses on the floor. I still can't compare him with any NBA player.

 

[ballinsam23]

Kinda slow, crafty, knows his spots, can shoot, can pass. CJ Mccollum?

A 6'8" version

 

[ballinsam23]

He's not 6'8" bruh. Actually everywhere I check got him at a different height. Didnt wanna go with the typical white on white comparison (Mike Miller)
