In the most confusing draft to follow if you're a Celtics fan, Brad Stevens somehow turned the 25th overall pick into Jordan Walsh and 4 future second round picks. Originally, the Celtics actually owned the 35th pick in this years draft but traded that as part of the Smart/Porzingis deal which netted us the 25th pick. During last nights draft we traded back from 25 to 31 adding 2 future second round picks. From there we traded the 31st pick for the 34th and 39th pick. Once the 34th pick came we traded that for the 38th pick and a future second round pick where we eventually drafted Jordan Walsh. We also traded the 39th pick for a future second round pick. It was a very confusing night but that is how everything shook out. The question now becomes, WHY? At pick 25, very rarely are you finding a player who can come in and contribute at a very high level. Also at 25, because it is a first round pick, that player is guaranteed a contract. Once that pick dropped to the 2nd round, the Celtics opened up the ability to add a $5Mill MLE guy and opened up the possibility of adding Walsh to a 2 way contract giving him time to develop if needed.

Jordan Walsh is a 6'7" elite wing defender from Arkansas with a 7'3" wingspan. He is a very versatile defender that has a very high motor. After losing Smart in that Porzingis deal, we lost one of our only guys that would go out and make all of the diving hustle plays and that is exactly who Walsh is. He will dive on the floor for every loose ball, run around constantly with his hands up trying to make plays on the defensive end. He is a dog through and through. With that being said, one might ask, why did he drop so low in the draft? His offensive game is very limited. He is not a good shooter whatsoever. The mechanics look fine and it might be something he can develop like Grant Williams did. For those that don't remember, Grant came into this league and shot 25% from 3 his rookie season and is now a 40% 3pt shooter. Walsh's floor is a very good defensive player but his ceiling is a high energy 3 and D guy with the right development, something that Cassell is really good at. It's not a sexy pick but turning 1 pick into a player and 4 future second round draft picks is a solid draft.
