    Fultz is bigger, longer, and a better shooter, but they're a lot closer than the projections would indicate.

    Smith's also an a--- defender but I still really like his game.

    De'Aaron Fox seems like the big riser as of late. Most mocks have him top 5 now. I like DSJ offensively, but not even pretending to play defense isn't gonna make teams go out of their way to get you.

    Fultz to me is the clear #1 and then its about preference/need. If the Celtics end up slipping to 2 or 3 its gotta be Jackson, Tatum or Isaac. Might even consider trading back to get Isaac if Lonzo is on the board and stupid teams want him.

    Smith to me can be like Lillard but with more bounce and a less prolific shooter.

    You really wouldn't want Lonzo at 2 for the Celtics?

    He's too ball dominant and can't play in the pick and roll (which is the celtics ideal half court play). His weak defense would also be notable, especially if he starts and bradley or crowder is forced to be the 6th man. I'm high on Lonzo has a prospect but he would be a terrible fit for Boston

    Issac next to Porzingis would be intriguing
    DSJ is your ideal pick considering your situation tho

    You need some shooters tho, fox would fit a team that can already space the floor consistently

    Celtics already have a ton of guards, only guard i'm taking is Fultz. Plus Lonzo is a distraction i don't think Stevens wants, in a similar way that he didn't want Boogie.

    I could also see the Celtics getting the #1 and asking for a kings ransom from the teams that land in the 2-4 range. Like if Orlando, Philly or Phoenix wanted to part with their 2018 pick unprotected and the C's could still end up with Jackson, Isaac or Tatum I'd consider it. I just think the 2018 draft suits the Celtics needs more with the bigs/size and I'd be ok with parting with Fultz to have to two kicks at the can there with the 18' Nets pick as well.

    At the end of the day the rest of the East is just waiting on Lebron's decline. Trading IT after everything hes been through/played through isn't gonna happen. If he under-performed in this postseason and the thing with his sister didn't happen I think the team would be willing to take a step back and draft their PG of the future and maybe trade him. Can't do that now.
