But, there appears to be a lot of uncertainties with the Sixers. Picking Philly this low will raise some eyebrows. Tier 2 – Have a Chance for the Playoffs, but not a Lock 6. The Celtics have a three-headed monster at center with Al Horford, Robert Williams III, and Enes Kanter. He is a terror on defense, and a great teammate. Losing Kemba Walker is a little bit of addition by subtraction, as this makes Tatum and Brown the clear go-to players on the team.

Add Joe Harris, and that could be the scariest top four in the league. Kyrie Irvingis easily a top 15 player, and can get to the lane and score at will. He sacrificed more than anyone else, and ended up with nearly 11 assists per game.
