00:08Hey by manning here. Welcome to the garden report NBA draft edition and

00:14The Celtics will once again try to find a player that they can invest in into the future

00:21develop

00:22Maybe fit into the depth spots the bench on this team as they did a year ago with

00:28Jordan Walsh and this year a similar situation for Boston

00:33They're at 30 in the first round. So they will have a pick in Wednesday's NBA draft

00:38They will have a second round pick

00:40Thanks to I believe the grant signing trade got them a second round pick this year

00:44Of course, they moved back a ton to it might have been the moving back last year

00:48They got them a second round pick this year and they have plenty of second round picks to play around with into the future

00:54So both options exist Yahoo reporting that the Celtics looking to move up and down this board and they're open to both possibilities there I

01:03Would lean down just for the cap reasons for the cost reasons and that's something the Celtics have to consider here

01:11Two years guaranteed salary for the 30th overall pick think a little bit more flexibility possible with a second round pick

01:17So do you accumulate more assets into the future by moving into the second round that kicks you back to day two?

01:23or do you see a guy that you want to consolidate all those second round picks for and go all-in on and

01:29Trade up in the first round that again feels unlikely here. So I'm gonna balance those two possibilities the

01:36enormous uncertainty with this draft

01:39alongside the fact that

01:41Things go any number of directions here and balance maybe some late first round guys to keep an eye on

01:47alongside some

01:48Guys that could be there early in the second round the Celtics do decide to

01:52Jump back a few spots and that's something I've heard is certainly a possibility here going into the weekend

01:57But the expectation is the Celtics will come out of this draft with at least one with at least one player

02:03So who could that be?

02:04Let's start with Dukes Kyle Filipowski a guy who's been there for a couple years

02:10I'm obviously a pretty avid ACC watcher being a Syracuse guy. He only has played two seasons there

02:18And

02:19He's seven feet. He is a shooter

02:2320 years old feels older and not a huge plus-plus wingspan almost feels like a Kelly Olenek in a way

02:31I know that's who Kevin O'Connor

02:33Compared him to sending him to the Raptors at 31. So he doesn't anticipate

02:38Filipowski being there at 30

02:40Others have him going in the 20s, which seems possible to me

02:43He's at 35% last year a pretty big jump from 28% the year before on threes shot three a game

02:50Eight rebounds a game good number three assists a game a good number

02:55KOC notes, he keeps the ball moving relocate screens cuts on offense

03:02Can steal a smaller guy in the post?

03:05Has a nice touch inside and out a hard playing defender as well

03:11And certainly some of the Celtics are familiar with through

03:14Their assistant coach Emil Jefferson who the year before he arrived in Boston a former Duke player himself

03:20Was an assistant on that Duke staff when Filipowski was a freshman

03:25So someone I'm sure who worked with Filipowski directly and knows him

03:29Well can provide some insight and familiarity with his game

03:33this seems like the kind of guy who can both play right away if the Celtics lose one or two centers in that frontcourt and

03:40Develop into something better long-term, which if you're gonna use that 30 pick, I think that's the kind of guy you want to

03:48Target at that spot

03:49Would you move up a few spots to go get him if you feel like he's gonna go before you're possibly out of the mix

03:55there

03:56That's this team's biggest need they like shooting

03:59They like complementary skills on offense at that big man position and a guy who can defend and that's something Filipowski is certainly

04:07capable of doing there

04:09Sam Bassini who I respect a ton has Filipowski at

04:1316 so certainly someone who could be gone by that 30 spot

04:18But he among many is my favorite prospect to go to Celtics at 30 if he is available there

04:25Less favored in my mind, but more likely to be there is Tyler Smith of the G League ignite

04:30He comes into this draft at 19. So certainly upside possible there on that ignite team. He played 43 games

04:37Average 14 5 with an assist and a block per game 48% from the field

04:4436% from 3

04:46See a couple different measurements for him. I've seen him as low as 6 9 seen him as high as 6 11

04:51So let's just call him 6 10. Certainly. That's some center size. So I have seen him peg more as a 4

04:57This is a guy a lot of fans seem to like there's certainly shooting possibility there

05:03nice lefty

05:05approach from 3 and

05:0937% on catch-and-shoot threes according to Bassini and synergy

05:13That's a good number and that's something that the Celtics can certainly work with what I like here is the Celtics ability to work with bigs

05:21Integrate them into their system. There's defensive concerns here and size as far as 5 goes could be an issue here

05:28But that isn't something that has scared the Celtics off in the past with centers. They've gone with some undersized guys

05:34They've succeeded in integrating those guys in the defensive system in Maine

05:38And it's certainly be plenty of runway for a guy like Tyler Smith to develop in Maine

05:43It feels like he's gonna be there. It's a position of need you like shooting at that position. There's defensive questions

05:50Sam Bassini really doesn't like his defense and where it's at right now

05:55KOC has him at 29 in the mock draft with 3 and D upside

06:01Calls him a non-factor on defense though who looks lost out there freezes defending pick and rolls

06:07finishing at the rim a little bit of an issue to 43% on layup attempts according to synergy and

06:13again, 36% KOC notes isn't a

06:17outstanding number

06:19He played for overtime elite previously in high school made 35% and 30% in two seasons there from three

06:26And he's 69% at the line this year, which isn't great

06:30That's his lifetime mark AOC notes

06:32So a flawed prospect

06:34But again as we consider things here

06:36All of these guys are gonna be flawed

06:38All of these guys are gonna have a reason that you might not want to take them at 30 who has the most bankable skill

06:43at that spot

06:45Smith's a

06:47Mixed bag there. So not my favorite prospect Filipowski. You get bankable size. You get bankable shooting and

06:53I'm

06:55Great experience in Duke, which I think is valid as well familiarity in his case, too

07:01I think the most exciting guy at this spot if he's there and again, it's hard to survive

07:08Until shooting goes off the board basini has Baylor Shireman who's next on my list here of Creighton at?

07:1522 a guy who could certainly be gone by 30

07:19Because he shot 38% from 3 on 8 attempts last year another lefty 6 6 6 8 wingspan. He's a wing

07:27Good smart player. He notes who is a great rebounder, which I think is exciting Hauser

07:33Who they're gonna have to look to replace at some point here

07:36I would think I'm not as strong on the boards, which is probably his weakest point in his game

07:41He got a little better this year defense certainly a strength of Hauser's

07:45Athleticism quickness a question with Shireman maybe something that gets him down to 30, but the shooting certainly something that's bankable there for him

07:5547% in 2022 at South Dakota State which allowed him to transfer to create and break out there. He played five college seasons

08:03So he's a little older. He's 23 coming in

08:07So not really a ton of upside I would think at that spot

08:10But do you need upside at that spot or do you just need a guy who could grow into?

08:15Position they certainly assigned drew Peterson an older guy in his own right to a two-way deal to try to fit that mold

08:22But there's a lot to like here some pick-and-roll skills koc notes

08:27Had great feel a willing passer and a solid defender who puts in an effort on that end

08:32Which I think is all you're looking for

08:35Not a great athlete. I think you can deal with that Hauser certainly wasn't either though

08:39He did throw down a few dunks in his day with the Celtics there

08:42So Baylor Shireman another guy worth looking out for at 30 we move on but first our sponsors

08:51Love prize picks this time of year any one of these guys could become someone you love on prize picks one day

08:57But for now, you got WNBA going on all summer you have

09:52So great app go check them out

09:56next on our list a

09:58Few guys who are probably more in the second round range

10:01Which again if the Celtics pop back a little bit or they just like these guys at 30

10:05They could roll with them Jalen Tyson. I'll start with first a Cal guy

10:09More of a wing prospect, but some ball handling skills there, which makes them a little more versatile

10:15At that spot. That's who Michael Scott. Oh has mocked to the Celtics at 30

10:20Who's pretty tapped in they have not worked him out. And again

10:24Shireman has worked out for the Celtics other guys. I've mentioned have not it appears at least based on the hoop type list

10:31I'm looking at here. What does he bring to the table? I think some guard skills. I think availability

10:37I think he's more likely not gonna be there at

10:4128

10:42Shot 36% from three last year. I think that's a good number six five

10:48220 pounds so he's switchable a solid athlete strong

10:52I don't think there's gonna be any physical issues on that end and he averaged 6.8 rebounds a game last year

10:59Which is a good number

11:00I think the Celtics want to have some wings some guys who are versatile at that spot fit in as rebounders

11:07Decent finisher around the rim. I

11:10Think you're looking at free throws

11:1379% that's a good number

11:16He just does a little bit of everything 3.5 assists per game

11:20You like that the catch-and-shoot stuff gonna be very important for him. He's a dunker

11:2837% on catch-and-shoot this year

11:3143.1% at Texas Tech a year ago. He played for Texas Texas Tech and

11:36California so he's playing a number of different situations

11:396.8 wingspan vicinity notes not overly wrong a lot of turnovers 3.1 per game

11:45That's a question but again you get a lot of stuff here

11:49In turn for the issues and there's gonna be issues with every guy on that spot some defensive issues

11:55I think you can clean that up

11:574.5 threes per game under to some mechanical issues that

12:03The scene he didn't love as far as ko C goes at that spot. He has him at 39

12:09compares him to Jared Dudley Ryan Gomes a

12:13Good creator can get his own shot off shooter off the dribble floaters mid-range sometimes a three

12:20And again the catch-and-shoot they're gonna be important for him in that Boston

12:24Context rebounding a plus. So what are we talking about here?

12:29He carried a heavy weight for himself at Cal. It looks like he's 21. Those aren't major downsides for Boston

12:35I think you like the intensity the physicality and especially the ability to switch here

12:40There aren't a lot of guys who look very switchable at this spot. I'm going back to Tyler Smith and Philip house key

12:45I don't think he's gonna be a major switching big this guy can switch

12:48So if you're looking for someone with a little bit more of an immediate impact

12:51I think Jalen Tyson is the move here at 30 and then we go to the draft and stash

12:57Possibility which is always something you have to think about 30. It would be a little awkward and

13:02home

13:04Daddy a an 18 year old from France

13:07Who played in all which I believe is in Germany

13:10So there's some Killian Hayes parallels there, I guess which you don't love to think about and I don't think is overly

13:18relevant, but again similar kind of path there for an 18 year old and

13:24He is connected through ESPN to the Celtics at 30. So interesting

13:29He remained in the draft had a withdrawal deadline could have stayed could have gone

13:33So his intent is to play in the NBA

13:36Immediately, it appears according to ESPN. He's visited with Boston, Orlando, Miami, Philly, San Antonio, Milwaukee, Brooklyn

13:43All those teams are more in that early second round. So if the Celtics stay here

13:47I think it's more likely than not that daddy a is there. He's 6-9. He has shot-making ability

13:52He's trying to figure out what he is at this point

13:55It feels like but if he's a guy that you can keep overseas for a year

13:59I think that's a plus at 30. You don't have to pay out that first round contract there as Brad Stephens said today

14:05You're not looking for immediate impact for most of these guys. It's gonna be tough for any of these guys to break the rotation

14:10So why not go with the youngest guy with the most upside?

14:13Someone who could maybe even turn into a star at this spot and this is really the only guy

14:17I think you look at here in this mix who has that kind of upside

14:226'7 6'9 wingspan great body control of the scene he notes in Germany shot 52 from the field 37 from 3

14:3080% from the line, that's all really good

14:33So, what are you looking at here movement off ball? That's important 45 cuts

14:40All of those off the all of those lean the buckets over the past year here

14:47You can get him on the move handoff plays you can use him as a little bit of a screener too, I'm sure

14:55So you just versed it out can fit in he's a guy that I think you can just plug in eventually and

15:01Have him impact this team not overly explosive

15:04That's the downside you're looking at their defense a work in progress

15:10and

15:11Kind of a guy who just bumps around uses physicality offensively

15:14I see that as a plus because again, you're gonna have to be physical in the NBA not much of a creator either

15:21Right now it looks like I don't think that's a problem. That's something he can work on. He's 18. So the tools are there

15:28the physicality is there and he already produced at

15:3518 in a

15:37Pro German League. I think that's all good stuff and I wouldn't mind seeing a guy from overseas

15:43Develop over there and then maybe come to Boston in a year could go to Maine if that's what he wants to do

15:49So all that is a plus he's a guy would have no problem with the Celtics taking here

15:53And so those are the five guys to look at heading into tomorrow

15:56We will have coverage more previews

15:58Check out our podcast previewing the draft as well with some experts
