Celtics Draft - New England Patriots Forums

***IcyPatriot*** · 06-21-2012, 04:18 PM

Draft is right around the corner ... June 28th. With a potent backcourt of Bradley and Rondo Ainge just needs to sign a vet or 2 to back them up. We need big men but the draft is sparse for that. It is doubtful Fab Melo will slip to them ... not that he is an answer.

On that note I think Ainge should go risk vs reward and grab the 2 question marks if they are available.
Both have top 10 perhaps top 5 talent.

Jared Sullinger ...
Position: PF
Height: 6-foot-9
Weight: 268 pounds
Age: 20
School: Ohio State

Royce White ...
Position: SF
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 261 pounds
Age: 21
School: Iowa State

i wish kg would make up his mind before the draft. but it doesn't look like he will.

Word out there is KG is definitely coming back. Ray is likely to end up in Miami.. that's fine. And I'm all in on White.. Grantland had a great piece on him.

So the latest rumor is that the Celts are "All In" on Austin Rivers???? I would be fine with that if we didn't have Bradley but we need size and we could get 2 quality young big men with 21 and 22 so why give up the farm for another SG???? I can't think this is a smoke screen because Austin will be gone long before 21 anyways so I am not sure what to think about this???

Rivers is a trigger-happy show boat. I really hope he does not become a Celtic.
That might be my Carolina Blue tinted view…but that's just my opinion.

if the celtics trade up, i want them to go for Tyler Zeller. He is NBA ready and we can move KG to the 4. I say no to Rivers because i just dont see a fit with the Celtic as long as we have Bradley.

i am fine with staying put.

Celtics are on the clock. The anticipation.

***ausbacker*** · 06-28-2012, 08:35 PM

Sullinger @ 21. Assuming his back works out I'm pretty happy with that.

***ausbacker*** · 06-28-2012, 08:42 PM

Fab Melo @ 22. Would have preferred Perry Jones at that slot but center is a need. Interesting.

Sullinger and Melo ... I'm okay with it ... Doc will make players out of them and if garnett comes back Melo is in for hell.
