The Boston Celtics stayed pact and went after what they needed at their Draft Slots without GM Danny "Trader Danny" Ainge hopping around trading and moving picks. The C's grabbed what they though was the best Point Guard on the Board in Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart by way of Flower Mound, Texas. Then with the 17th Pick they grabbed Kentucky's James Young by way of Rochester Hills, Michigan whop Tom Izzo Sparty's Lead Man said, "Young was the best looking High School Prospect out of the state of Michigan since C-Webb out of Birmingham, Michigan Country Day School". That is lofty praise for the young man who I thought was clear and away the best UK Freshman and that includes Lakers #7 pick Julius Randle.

Now looking on how C's Business stacks up moving towards the 2014-15 Season looking at the Roster with both 2014 Picks and Point Guard Rajon Rondo still running things.

the C's 2014-15 Roster 

PG Rajon Rondo
Combo G Avery Bradley *
Combo G Marcus Smart

SF Jeff Green
SF Gerald Wallace
SF James Young
PF Brandon Bass

C Jared Sullinger
C Kelly Olynyk
C Joel Anthony


*Bradley has a $3.5 Million Qualifying Offer for 2014-15
PF Chris Johnson Team Option
SG Chris Babb Team Option
PG Phil Pressey Free Agent

The Green Team still has some Cap Flexibility and the Core of Rondo, Bradley, Sullinger, Olynyk, Smart, and Young is what the C's are banking on moving forward. Rondo and Jeff Green along with Wallace have some Trade Potential with Rondo being the big Fish in a small pond!
