How much influence does Brad Stevens have on the draft?

Danny Ainge holds final say whenever the Boston Celtics have a big decision to make. He's their general manager, and he's very good at what he does. But how much influence does he let in from the rest of Boston's front office?

And leading up to the draft, how much does he take from head coach Brad Stevens, someone who obviously has an eye for talent and understands how certain players can fit beside one another? Here's more from Boston.com:

"Danny Ainge has the final say; there’s no mystery there. But does he have the most significant one? In other words, whose opinion should hold more water; the man tasked with taking a team from the lottery to championship contention, or the promising coach employed to achieve that same goal with those players on the court and in the locker room? Would Ainge ever defer to the man with a mental map of how everything should shake out on the floor?"

A lot of voices whisper in Ainge's ear, and Stevens should be one of them. He's a highly intelligent basketball mind who can help Boston navigate through a disturbingly unpredictable process. They need his help.
