Might be the best player the Celtics have taken all night, and I'm basing that entirely on his attire.

I personally still love that we drafted Jaylen Brown. I don't care that he might not have been the universally understood #3 prospect, but he was definitely a Top 7-8 guy. So if you can't move down because teams dont want to move assets to barely go up, and you really like the guy and his fit -- then do it. I've stated for over 3 weeks now that I've wanted Brown at the third pick and now we have, so I'm happy with that.
 
I wish we traded more, but obviously nothing could materialize. We took two draft-and-stash players, which I don't think affect the cap (I hope not at least) and then took Demetrius and Bentil in the 2nd round: good mid-1st round guys that we got on unguaranteed 2nd round contracts. 
 
 
It was a decent draft. I understand why people don't like Jaylen really, but I think he'll prove them wrong because I think he's a better player than what he showed at Cal. 
 
Nothing special, but it could have been worse. Look at what the Kings did. They traded down from #8 and got fucking Papagiannis at #13. Could have been a ton worse.
 
I'm satisfied. Would have been much more upset overall had we taken Chriss at 3

Alex Poythress goes undrafted. Kept refusing to declare while his draft stock progressively got worse.

Jaylen was definitely a Top 2 player at Cal last year lol
 
Not gonna argue whether he or Rabb was #1, but he was definitely top2
