JAYSON TATUM is who the celtics should take at 3 .. if lakers were crazy enuff to take josh jackson rather than ball.. watch the celtics trade down to the 4 slot and add another 1st round pick so suns can get ball and they still get tatum

and the celtics will activate Ante Zezic .. he is all the big they will need .. in a few seasons will the perfect Center
with ho the nba is played nowadays.. brilliant move drafting zezic .. plus they have yabusele (spelling) and they have a swing forward also
that is pretty damn good.. those are three really nice pieces .. well zezic for certain.. Yabu probably and the arab dude looks decent ..

they have a bright future anyway you slice it amazing job accumulating assets throwing all the talent against a wall and seeing what sticks..

having said that , Fultz ability to get shot off , create own shot off dribble is very advanced for his age and experience level and to me that
is what celtics need most a scorer that can create on his own.. fultz creates own shot off dribble and screen in a variety of ways and its by design he has several patented moves he goes too

A scorer that can create their own shot? This is the NBA lol. Bradley can do that from what I saw. And obviously isiah thomas can create his own shot, usually resulting in two fts.

Where would you play Fultz? Off the bench? Draft #1and bring him off the pine? He wouldn't be able to start with the roster they have. Bradley and thomas are both legit.

76ers perfect spot for him. Ben simmons and him are going to be sick

I like tatums game. But Josh jackson will go before imo. Way more potential. Tatum is nowhere near as athletic as the first three projected. Those guys all have nba athleticism.

The first three picks are already a lock pretty much. Already decided on. Sixers get Fultz. Lakers Lonzo. Celtics Josh Jackson.

The more i think about it, the more i think Boston is taking too big of a chance here.

Celtics will never live this down if Fultz turns out to be a franchise player...

I hear you but what would they do with I.T.? Letting go of I.T. would be worse than making a trade to move back....which they did. So I think they made the right move regardless of how good Fultz is. I just don't see where Fultz would play. What position? You can't move avery bradley to the 3. Lineup would be hella undersized.

There is no doubt jimmy Butler is leaving this summer. He might be easier to trade for.

I'm not sure why so many people think Fultz is going to be a megastar. He's a late bloomer and didn't lead his team to the most important thing in college basketball, WINNING

Anyhow, since all the scouts are big on him he must have potential, but so do a few other guys in what appears to be a deep draft

I want size for the C's, they're already good and they need more game inside

Career

23.2 Points
5.7 Rebounds
5.9 Assists


I just think those are impressive numbers for a freshman.

If he's legit, those stats should go up in the NBA.

He could be as good as Harden & Westbrook & better than I. Thomas.

I know all of that is speculation but i would have drafted him & if he is what everyone thinks he is, then they could easily trade Thomas for a big name or pick if they couldn't co-exist...

I like this trade by Danny. I am not a Fultz fan, think he has some dog in him.

Last thing the Celtics need is another guard. Personally I think Fultz will have a more difficult time in the NBA with only being 6'4" He will be guarded by bigger and faster players he faced in college.

I would not be surprised if Danny makes a move on Butler with the 3rd pick and players off the roster to the Bulls. Bulls offered Butler to 76'ers for 3rd pick and more. Now I can definitely see Danny trading the #3 and a couple of players off the roster to the Bulls.

Then they will sign Hayward as a free agent. Add Z and/or one of the other big guys stashed away.

I still think Danny is going to make a run at Anthony Davis at some point with all the assets he has. If any of the big guys looks anywhere decent I can see some of the #1 picks and players off the roster to New Orleans for Davis. That is a stretch I know as New Orleans is going no where and don't want to trade Davis but the Celtics can give them some very good picks and players that make them a younger better team moving forward within 3 years.

Who knows if New Orleans is smart enough to do that

Truthfully I watched Fultz and he scored a lot but his team was losing by 15+ points many games. Have read some points from writers who covered the Husky team last year. He seems to have some dog in him and watching him I would agree....

I think you're spot on. Good deal for both sides IMO. This gives Boston more assets to bring in established players to compete now and gives the 76ers a critical piece as they continue to build. Hayward and Butler will really add some punch to the lineup and Boston will still be set from a picks perspective.

Starting to think and feel celtics draft Tatum over jackson. Because he can play the 3. But the real reason is because he can shoot the three pointer right away. Josh jackson jumper is a work in progress and we know celtics will shoot tons of 3s.

Lots of talk around here now that Porzingas is in play for the #3 pick. I'll take him over Butler!

He is younger and fits us better than Butler. Please let that happen, please, please, please
Phil Jackson give us Porzingas!!!!
