Just looked at a mock draft which had the Celtics picking Meyers Leonard. After reading up on him, he seems like a great fit. The fact that he is 7 feet, 245 pounds is impressive in itself but looks like he is athletic and can shoot. I'd like to see the Celts draft him, sign Jeff Green, resign Bass if possible and sign KG for one more year.
Starting lineup would be:
Rondo, Bradley, Pierce, KG, Leonard
Reserves: Bass, JJJ, (unlikely Ray Allen)
If on occasion you moved Pierce to the point, going big would look like: Pierce, Green, JJJ/Bass, KG, Leonard
That's just one example, but I think this potential lineup would pose huge problems to opposing teams. At 6-7, Pierce would be the smallest player on the court and would create huge match up problems.
The long and short if this post is that with two picks, we should be able to trade up if needed to get a legit center this year. I wanted to see who else is on people's radar if we went that route.
