Worst case scenario, we pick 4th.

Right now, the consensus Top 4 includes these 3 players

Markelle Fult
Lonzo Ball
Josh Jackson

On the outside of these 3 are

De'Aron Fox
Jayson Tatum
Jonathan Isaac

Safe to say that one of these 6 guys will be a Celtic this summer UNLESS we trade the pick.

The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

I can see something unexpected happening -- we get the 4th pick (which makes everyone mad) and we take De'Aron Fox, and he ends up being the best player in the draft.

He's got great size for the Point, his shot isn't broken (just needs refinement), got blazing speed, he's creative and crafty scorer, can be a lockdown defender, has great feel for the game, and plays with passion.

Biggest knock on him is his perimeter shooting, but again, his mechanics aren't flawed (like Ball's). He doesn't seem to have problems with his shooting that Rondo has, nor is he reluctant to shoot (another of Rajon's offensive problems).

It's not out of the question that he becomes this draft's top player, and he'll probably go 4th or lower.
