Boston Celtics: 2014 NBA Draft top 3 targets for 6th pick and 17th pick

Next Thursday Night on ESPN is the 2014 NBA Draft.  This is the team I am waiting to see what they do.  I believe they will trade the picks for Kevin Love or Carmelo Anthony.  Let's say they don't trade the picks though. Here are the top 3 players I would target with the 6th pick, and then the top 3 I would target with the 17th pick.


Top 3 players to target with the 6th pick

1. Julius Randle-  Randle is a good rebounder who also has a good mid range jump shot.  I'm going to make a bold prediction in saying this guy will eventually become a 20 point and 10 rebound per game kind of player.  If Randle starts I'm going to make a bold prediction of Randle averaging 13 points and 8 rebounds in his rookie season.  I would have no problem if Randle was selected with the 6th pick.  How do you feel about Julius Randle?
2. Aaron Gordon- High energy athletic power forward, who I feel will be exciting and entertaining to watch. Reminds me of Denver Nuggets power forward Kenneth Faried.  If Randle were gone before the 6th pick, I think taking Gordon would be awesome. 
3. Zach LaVine-  This combo guard could take over if Rondo becomes injured, or could play at the two.  I don't know what the Celtics are going to do with Avery Bradley yet.   LaVine could become like another Russell Westbrook, or become a complete bust. I really don't know.  LaVine has a lot of athleticism, and as a Celtics fan would be fun to watch. 

Top 3 Players to target with the 17th pick

1. James Young-  Kentucky shooting guard James Young, I believe could provide some good scoring at the shooting guard spot off the bench.  Young might possibly become a starter if Avery Bradley isn't resigned by the Celtics.   Young can score in various ways.  To win in basketball you have to not only be able to play defense, but put some points on the board. Young I believe can provide that. Young could become a great 6th man like Jamal Crawford.
2.  Tyler Ennis-  Ennis could still possibly be on the board with the 17th pick.  Tyler Ennis is a coachable player who could be a great backup, or a solid replacement starter if Rajon Rondo were to go down with an injury. Ennis attention to detail is what makes me high on him.  If not the Celtics could be a great backup on some other team.  I think they should select either Young or Ennis with the 17th pick.
3. Shabazz Napier-  I liked what I seen in the tournament of Shabazz.  Unselfish player who gets his teammates involved and can also score.  If the Celtics didn't go with Young or Ennis, I'd be happy with Napier.  What are your feelings if the Celtics selected Napier with the 17th pick? 

  So if you were GM of the Boston Celtics, and there was no trading on draft night, what players would you select with the 6th and 17th pick?  I admit I don't know as much about college basketball as many of you would.  I don't get to watch it much.  Send me your comments on what you think about my picks.   I'm of the mindset that the 6th and 17th pick will be traded on draft night.  Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.  If you have anything you'd like to see on my blog send me your comments.  I hope you enjoy the 2014 NBA Draft.
