165bows' guy Sion James shows up very well with the best time in the three quarter sprint among all prospects and a 40 inch vertical.

The Eli Manning thing is a joke. They don't think it's real.
Per the ep - the C's have been interviewing top-10 guys at the combine. That's not unusual as this spring is the last time they can formally hold talks with them before they get drafted. So teams do reconnaissance for future decisions. But who knows? Maybe they love someone in the top-10. (Tre Johnson was mentioned as a guy they've talked to).
They also say teams only get 13 interview requests at the combine. So to spend two of them on Cooper Flagg and Tre Johnson, that's not nothing. They don't get infinite opportunities to talk to the prospects.
I've been saying that the Mavs situation is an awful situation for Cooper to walk into. That's how I see it, not saying that Fagg's team sees it that way. But if they do, I wouldn't be surprised if some machinations go on between now and 5/28 collegiate withdrawal deadline if Flagg and his team prefer to wind up with another franchise. Not saying he's gonna go back to Duke, but that some machinations are likely to go down behind the scenes because of how much leverage Flagg has.

Dallas can have Brown and Jrue.

What would they be able to give back in order to take on JB and Jrue, without breking up what they already have? Third team involved?

Some Celtics fans believe that the league office and all teams should bend over backwards to help the Celtics like they do for the Lakers.....and that has never happened.
The Celtics don't get preferential treatment like the Lakers do.

I'm sorry I asked! 165bows wrote:This has gone paywalled but this mock had Adou Thiero going to Boston at 28.
I was pretty intrigued by Thiero’s athleticism but figured his shooting would keep him off the list. But man he can run and dunk which is always fun

Also article made the worthwhile point how Boston under Brad Stevens has targeted wings with outlier characteristics consistently in the draft, which double checking has been all of Brad’s picks inside of the 50s.

Thiero could be interesting. The shooting is a big question mark obvs.
Also Theiro signed with Klutch Sports which isn't great. I don't think being a Klutch guy is an absolute open-and-shut "we aren't interested" for the Celtics front office, but it does seems like it's somewhat of a strike-one against a guy.

I haven't looked at any video. So I have no idea but the description sounds very much like another jordan Walsh.. I for one am tired of shooting projects. I want shooters who have a more proven track record or natural shooting touch versus the maybe etc..
