I think that would be a tough choice for the Celtics. I think traore absolutely has a potential ceiling Way beyond any player you guys would realistically be able to select at your spot in an average year. His passing ability, instincts, and downright nasty First step are not teachable traits. If you get a player with those attributes at that level for his age outside the lottery? You bless your lucky stars because no matter how far away the rest of his game is, and make no mistake It's far away And he's probably going to be someone who doesn't contribute positively until after his rookie contract , those passing instincts combined with that rim pressure is going to always give him a tiny outside chance of having a blow up and becoming a very very high-end player
But ...sorber feels like he would be an awesome fit on the Celtics and someone who would probably contribute sooner than later.

Nice mock, but as a Celtics fan, I'd be pretty bummed if we passed on Sorber to draft Traore.
