who is the consensus #3 pick -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 14:23 13
- Likely Josh Jackson if he fits the team's needs. He could go second to the Lakers which I would both hate and love. -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:30 11
  - The reason why a pre-draft deal wouldn't make sense for Boston is that... - David Jun 16, 14:32 10
    - I know Fultz is considered the #1 but the Celtics don't need another point guard. They need a 3 but there isn't one worth taking early at that spot. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 16, 14:38 9
      - Jackson actually fills a better role for the Lakers - eag Jun 16, 16:26
      - What I suspect is that Ainge saw that Cleveland couldn't match up with Durant. - David Jun 16, 14:39 6
        
        tough to match up with Durant when you also have to worry about the others as well :) -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 14:56
        
        I'm still hoping they'll see Jimmy Butler as the answer to that. Smaller, but top level defender. - pmb Jun 16, 14:49 3
        
        I think Paul George makes more sense. -- nm - David Jun 16, 14:53 2
        
        And no one is giving the Pacers much given he's already forwarding his mail to LA -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 14:54 1
        
        Exactly. And Butler is on a decent contract with the Bulls. -- nm - pmb Jun 16, 15:02
        
        Good point. -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:40
      - This is me assuming Jackson can't play the 3 in the NBA -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:39
- The belief is that they'd take Josh Jackson, who fits their style of player better. -- nm - David Jun 16, 14:29
