Very early and still have a month but i'd say
1. Smart
2. Gordon
3. Vonleh
4. Randle
I think Smart and Randle are b etter players than Vonleh which is a problem and I don't like drafting on fit. Randle who I have ranked last also may be the best player and most talented. Makes me think there is going to be some kind of deal. Or we just take Gordon or the bpa.

I like Vonleh but he also has bust written all over him at times and is a project. His skillset might compliment guys like sully and ko ultimately but expecting him to come in and be that is a bit of a stretch. Sully and KO are better players currently by far imo which doesn't say much for improving our roster.

1) Dario Saric
2) Julius Randle
3) Aaron Gordon
4) Vonleh
Saric's combination of size, ball handling, quickness, offensive versatility, passing ability, and fiery personality makes me think he's the top candidate at 6.
Randle gets a lot of knock, but he's a load to handle offensively. One on one in the post, Randle will usually win. Plus, he'll give you good rebounding too.
I put Gordon ahead of Vonleh because he potentially offers more. Even if he never develops a jumper, he's still a shut down perimeter defender and a guy who can slash to the basket with the ball.
Vonleh, IMO, is getting a lot play because of his wingspan. Aside from that, he could be a good post defender against his man one on one, and be a fair rebounder. But offensively, he's not going to offer a whole lot.

I've definitely become a lot more intrigued by Aaron Gordon lately. He has such a unique skillset. Freak athlete, great defender, good passer, good ball handler, good rebounder, etc. Plus he plays with a lot of intensity and is a very hard worker. But on the flip side, he doesn't have great length, his jumper is iffy, he lacks offensive skill, and his FT% is atrocious. From what I've read it sounds like he should be able to develop a decent catch and shoot long range jumper, but he may never have the ability to shoot off the dribble. But the kid is only 18 and has a lot of development left. All things considered, I'd love to see him in a Celtics jersey.

I hope we take Gordon. He's no paul pierce but unique player. Either him or Vonleh just because of their defense(potentially in vonleh's case). Smart is probably the smartest choice though just ebcause it gives us options to really strike it big. I'm not a huge fan of randle and I don't know why, unless it's to trade the pick. We could use a post scorer though. Randle is a safe pick if we want a talented player where we know what we get. He and Sully with KO could do some damage inside.

SAric is probably the closest to being able to play at the pro level. He is good all around and plays smart defense. He could be like chandler parsons. He doesn't really solve our toughness issues inside but good passer who can shoot and isn't going to disrupt chemistry. He is a good alternative to jeff green.
I'd like to do more than that. Vonleh is very skinny and he doesn't look alert at times. I look at him and think he may not be able to contribute for a good while

He doesn't have a quick trigger, and he doesn't have a dribble drive pull up game either. |

Randle can do more off the dribble, including pulling up for jumpers.

Randle can do more off the dribble, including pulling up for jumpers. Randle did zero of that in college. I still don't believe he can shoot if he could he would of attempted more then just a few jumpers this season |

He was quoted saying Coach Cal wanted him to stay inside, rather than shoot it.
He shot 70% from the free throw line as a freshmen, and he's comfortable shooting it. I have no doubt he can hit midranges. As a pro, he's going to work on extending his range further out.
