RETRIEVING CONTENT...PLEASE WAIT
Around the Mock Drafts

The various sites haven't wasted any time updating the mock drafts to move the Celtics from 2nd to 5th. Here is a look at who the mocks are predicting for the Celtics.
College Hoops Network has the Celtics taking Jeff Green.
NBADraft.net has Al Horford going to Boston at #5.
HoopsHype has Joakim Noah going to the Celtics at 5.
Draft Express also sees Boston taking Joakim Noah with the 5th pick.
MSNBC has the Celtics taking Al Horford with the fifth pick.
Inside Hoops has Mike Conley, Jr going to the Celtics with the 5th pick. Today on WEEI Danny said he definitely wouldn't be taking a PG because Rondo is better than any of the PG's in the draft this year. He is also inviting a PG from Spain to Summer League. So this has the least credibility of any of the mocks in my view.
Dime's mock has the Celtics taking Corey Brewer with the fifth pick.
About.com projects that the Celtics will take Roy Hibbert at #5. But it is likely that Hibbert will be returning to Georgetown and won't be in the draft.
NBA.com has a mock that puts Mike Conley at #5 with the Celtics.
MyNBADraft.com has Al Horford going to Boston with the 5th pick.
Sports City also has us taking Al Horford with the 5th pick.
Fox Sports predicts that we will take Jeff Green with the fifth pick. Danny does seem to have a thing for guys with the last name Green (Greene).
I have included a link to each of the drafts as well as the profile from the site for the player they project Boston taking. I don't see Conley coming to Boston. I think Atlanta will probably take him at 3 and Danny has said that he won't be drafting a point guard (if we can believe Danny). I think Noah would be a good pick for us. The kid is a winner and is willing to work hard on his game to improve wherever he needs to. I also like Horford, Brewer and Green. It may get clearer as we get closer to the draft, but right now it is clear that no one knows who Danny will pick, if he does indeed keep the pick and not trade it.
