Lucky seven, or unlucky seven, depending on your perspective

The Celtics didn't get the top-three pick they were looking for, but instead they got the seventh pick they expected to receive. The Trail Blazers got totally hosed and wound up with the fourth pick despite having the worst record by far. The Raptors lucked out with the top pick. Since they are the Raptors, however, they will probably screw it up.

In fact, I believe that this draft is more deep than it is top-heavy, and there is a great chance that the player that the Celtics want (a Williams from either UConn or Duke, for example) will be available at that slot.

I also believe that the top three potential picks (Morrison, Aldridge, and Tyrus Thomas) have a high bust potential even though I would be totally stoked if any of them fell to the C's at seven. Not bloody likely.

All in all, while it would have been nice to nab a top three pick... the fact that the top three picks haven't been decided yet indicates that it's not a fantastic position to be in.

Danny Ainge is a mastermind when it comes to mid-draft and late draft steals, so we'll get to see what he does with a top pick!
