Dragan Bender leads the pack in mock drafts

We have just ten days left of draft speculation. Will the Celtics trade the pick? If not, who will they take?

Your guess is as good as mine (leaning 80/20 there’s a trade). I did a quick search of mock drafts and here’s a look at the most popular choices:

1. Dragan Bender (5 votes)

Kevin Pelton/ESPN Insider, Andrew Sharp/SI, Derek Bodner/USA Today, Chris Rolling/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/The Vertical

2. Jamal Murray (4 votes)

Gary Parish/CBS Sports, Chad Ford/ESPN Insider, Alex Kennedy & Joel Bringham/Basketball Insiders

3. Jaylen Brown (3 votes)

Steve Kyler & Moke Hamilton/Basketball Insiders, Sam Vecenie/CBS Sports

4. Buddy Hield (3 votes)

Hoops Hype, NBADraft.net, Alex Ballentine/Bleacher Report

5. Marquese Chriss (1 vote)

Sigh. I’m not going to pretend to know anything about Bender, but I don’t see how he helps us in the next 2-3 years. And with free agency looming, guys like Kevin Durant aren’t going to give a damn about potential 3 years down the road.
