    As a player and as a person, he is a top 10 pick. Someone will take a chance on him. All things considered, BOTH of his knees are big red flags and a smart team won't risk it on him early in the draft. At some point, the value becomes worth the risk though.

    Does the draft actually start at 6? I thought it started at 7. Or does the ESPN draft coverage start at 6?

    I hope one of our picks is a 3 and D guy. That's all I ask for at this point.

    Celtics will have a nice, young combo guard rotation. Smart, Bradley, Dunn.

    They'll still have zero shot blocking.

    You think he would say anything differently? They aren't listening to him about his knees. They are listening to team doctors who gave him physicals and scoped out his knees.

    Key Felder is a baller. he'd be a top 3 pick if he were 6'2.

    He's no Woj or even Stein but you should probably start a new thread on that.
