2022 NBA Draft Thread – (June 23rd, 8PM, ESPN)

[Hal14]

well, i got last year's pick right. i guess not this year haha

Davison is what you call an upside swing. High energy, high athleticism, he's explosive. he's kind of like a taller nate robinson. he is really quick, can get by his man with ease and either get to the rim or dish it to the open man. decent shooter from 3. he's young, only 19. was a 5 star recruit out of HS.

has some issues on defense.

down the road, potentially could be a really good, explosive, high energy combo guard.

not ready now though. so we'll give him a 2-way contract. he'll be a highlight reel guy in the g-league and maybe eventually could be a really exciting player for us.

Makoundou is way better though. jabari walker or barlow would have also been a better pick too. but oh well.

it could eventually end up being a really good pick. but davison could also end up being a disaster. cause his shooting is shaky, he turns it over a lot, he has some defensive issues. so it's an upside swing, but it might also turn out to be a waste of a pick. we'll see..

[Hal14]

if we don't pick Makoundou, then I hope we grab Jabari walker or dominick barlow. those are my top 3 right now for the celtics.

Well we picked someone not on your big board, but his hair makes him look a little like big bird.

he's on there at #60

highlights are so petty, he looks amazing lmao!!

JT, JB, JD new Big 3!

[djFan71]

Do any of y’all know JD’s high school tape??? One of the most entertaining high school basketball players in some time LOL I can’t believe the Celtics drafted him I’ve been watching this kid for years now

The one here?

Has elite physical traits, along the lines of a Steve Francis, DSJ or Westbrook but plays more like a shooting guard/wing and so is a bit undersized for that position.

Any prospective UDFA?

He was picked at 53 it’s not a disaster if he fails. Those guys look like they will go undrafted.

[Bill Lumbergh]

If Kai Sotto goes undrafted, bring him in for a look.

Here are some positives about him.

1. Freshman
2. 6'3, so he isn't small for a PG.
3. Explosive. Has bounce to his game.
4. 3 point shot looks good, even though he only shot 30% from 3.
5. SEC All-Freshman

I still felt like there were better players on the board.

Can't jinx it on the last 3 picks...

So Smart trade confirmed? Even if he pops they already have Smart, White, and PP., not to mention Yams…..why not tale a flyer on someone with a higher ceiling that could actually see the floor?

[Green89]

Dunks. We like Dunks right?

Maybe he can re-teach Tatum how to finish at the rim.

Awful pick. Was so painful with Barlow still on the board So many great players available where we would have picked in the first round. Depressing day to be a Celtics fan watching all our rivals improve

[FlyBono]

Unless this JD kid knows Beal or Durant, good luck in G league

Isnt he 6’ 0”? Thats small. Might make up for it with his athleticism but he is small.
