Boston at No. 3 overall is reportedly leaning toward Kansas swingman Josh Jackson, although the Celtics could trade that pick in a package for George or Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler. This past Monday, I actually went to Boston and they put me through a workout and it was great. "He threw me a pass and I finished it", Collins said.
"I think I am the best defender", Anunoby said. "He's just telling me to stay humble and keep working like he has".
As the draft comes tomorrow, it looks like there is a strong possibility that Josh Jackson will fall out of the top three. But I think we're still moving on the same path. "They said they love my dad and left it at that".
Jackson said he has spoken with Celtics forward Jaylen Brown several times as well. That young core of talent could provide a base to rebuild the team. "We have a much better idea of where we are today than just a few days ago and, again, sitting in the No. 1 spot, we couldn't be in a better place". When I was at DeMatha, we had two first team All-Americans on the basketball team and they both ended up in the NBA.
The same can be said for someone like Baylor forward Johnathan Motley, or even Syracuse forward Tyler Lydon, both of whom are first-round talents in nearly any other year. He thinks they can make each other better if they wind up together, and he isn't particularly anxious about being stuck in a crowded frontcourt, fighting for minutes on a playoff team.
Most reports are indicating that the 76ers plan to nab Markelle Fultz, the former Washington Huskies guard. "It really doesn't matter".

The invitation was accepted by Mr Trump, but there are rumours he changed his mind amid reports that large-scale protests were being planned.
Jackson then was asked to describe himself. Also, at this stage of the game, it seems that the Celtics are leaning towards another player.
With just 28 wins past year, and just 75 total wins over the last four seasons, there's been little to celebrate for the Sixers. If Ainge is to be believed, even they don't know who they will take at No. 3 - but he insisted that whichever choice they make there would have been the choice they made at No. 1 if this deal hadn't gone down. Just having that versatility on defense really helps a lot.
As long as Jackson eventually improves his jump shot (a massive variable in terms of him making good on all his upside), it's hard to argue with him. They will now pick second, 27th and 28th overall.
It is rare for a player to come into the National Basketball Association with the ability to adequately defend four different positions when they are on the floor.
"It's been a little insane last couple days", Duke forward Jayson Tatum said Wednesday.
"I talked about that with coach Brad Stevens", Tatum said.
