Yea, ainge has hit it with top 3 picks. Yes, he could have picked fultz.
An ecf team is running their offense with a #13 (sorry, not 14) draft pick in herro. 1 higher than Langford, a total loser. I know these dudes aren't the same level as tatum brown, and I know I'm dissecting w/ a microscope etc, but come on, for a dude that's drafted like 16 players in the past 4 seasons, ya think the dude would hit something (besides the lottery picks).
Too early to judge on Langford. I didn't like Grant Williams or Carsen Edwards.
I doubt anyone will believe me, but at the time when we had to make the pick, considering the remaining guys on the board, at #22 there were only four guys I considered CLEAR candidates for the pick: Daniel Gafford, Terance Mann, Dylan Windler, or Bol Bol.
Once I knew the athletic limitations of Grant Williams and his poor wingspan he was a no go for me. Of course Brandon Clarke was in the mix, but I read somewhere afterwards Ainge wanted him, got a little too cute and Memphis moved up. Personally I never, ever would have drafted Edwards - he was clearly going to bust, just like it was clear Gafford would be much better than his draft position.
When I saw Ainge picked Grant Williams I was like, "Why?" With Romeo though before we drafted him, it was clear he would be on our radar because Ainge likes highly regarded high schoolers with long wingspans. Personally at 14 I would have just drafted Brandon Clarke or Daniel Gafford.
ALSO there are a few teams because of who their GMs are, if you can, you should try to move up past them: Heat, Thunder, Spurs, Nets. Riley this past draft proves the point, as does Presti with Steven Adams. Spurs and Nets are relatively easier to figure out who they'll draft a lot of the time. Hawks and Warriors are easier to predict than other teams too.
