6. Boston Celtics (Hardwood Houdini; Richard Spalding): Aaron Gordon, Power Forward, Arizona
With the Jazz picking up Vonleh, and with Dante Exum already off the board, Boston has to choose between Julius Randle, who has a NBA-ready post game, or Aaron Gordon, an athletic freak who can defend virtually every position on the floor. It’s a risk, but Gordon has a huge ceiling and too much potential on both sides of the floor to ignore. His offense may be limited to put-back and alley oops, but with Rajon Rondo running the point Gordon could wind up becoming the East Coast version of Blake Griffin. He’s a project, but one that should reap huge long-term dividends for the Celtics.
