Sophmores, 2020-21 – Langford, G. Williams, Edwards, Waters, Tacko

[FlatearthZorro]

So, Langford likes the ooh wee? He has the *struggle to pull my eyes open so I don't look high, but I still look high look* in most of his pictures and videos!

He looked like he was baked out of his mind and on a different planet on draft night.

Tacko is a nice dude. I hope he makes it in the league regardless if it's with us or another team. If he continues working hard he definitely will make it.

I think most likely scenario:
15 - Green
2way - Waters
2way- Fall
cut - Strus

Simply because the 15th man is more expendable. 2ways can become 15th man without exposure to other teams; 15th man cannot become 2 way without going through waivers.

If Fall or Waters shines enough to really secure the 15th man slot, then Strus can make it and Green is cut

IDk if Javonte Green is that much better than Strus. In fact, I'm not sure either of those two should be on the team.
I think that Tacko should get at least a Two-Way, along with Waters.

We really need a PF, for the 15th spot. But, this will all shake out much better, in Training Camp.

I will be surprised if Green has anything to do with the C's roster after camp.

only one Celtic on his top-five list?? I'm so done with the talking heads at ESPN! should be ALL SIX CELTICS Langford, G. Williams, Edwards, Waters, Strus, Tacko there. SMD lamestream media!!! Ask me July 1!! (how's this going is it sounding good?)

There is a lot of talent that has played on the college level in this group of players; however can these players go to the next level and compete in the NBA. There are a lot factors size skill set and a willingness to play defense on the NBA level. Training camp is near let see what happens. Brad Stevens and staff has a lot to work with great thanks to Danny Ainge.

I thought Edwards would be there, tbh. I feel the kid has the potential to outperform his 2nd round selection big time.

Agreed. Williams with more opportunity at his position, but Edwards with the more elite skill and athleticism and also a natural pairing with Smart.

[Curmudgeon]

Tremont Waters is my new binkie.

[canman1971]

Not gonna lie, but I keep forgetting the Celtics drafted Langford. Hope that's a good thing in the end.

Grant Williams and Carsen Edwards played well.
I can see those 2 getting some Rotation minutes.

Could Waters make Wannamaker expendable, if they want a slot for Green?

Sure. Both Waters and Green, played better than Wanamaker, at this point.

[MapleRed]

Wanamaker could be the 3rd string PG at this point. Edwards and of course, Smart are ahead of him on the depth chart.

They need to find a way to get Green and Fall on the roster. From what I saw from Ojeleye, I would rather have Green on the team.

Wannamaker is insurance - if Kemba or Smart get hurt he will need to play. I should say when....because it is inevitable that Smart plays less than 82 games. I don’t think Carson or Waters are ready to play NBA level quarterback. Realistically though, he is not in picture long term. Semi Ojeleye is another possibility. I think Danny should trade him .... he isn’t making his shots and his defense isn’t that good but honestly don’t see that happening. Green impressed me in SL and today he was lights out. If Hayward or Brown leave at end of year or at trade deadline, he is a legit backup prospect at wing. He is most exciting dunker on the roster. I honestly think Strus is the guy to go. I like the idea of him.....but he is just this year’s Abdel Nader.

Celtics would be insane to let Tacko go. He may not make it and even if he does, his ceiling in today’s NBA could be very low. Yet, as long as he keeps improving..who can say for sure? That followup dunk tonight wasn’t even on radar in SL. He is just too much of a phenom and a marketer’s dream to let go.

Wanamaker plays with an assurance that comes from his experience. He's no star, but he is a solid player, and any time he has gotten extended minutes he has shown his value. I think Tremont is a good player, but at this point Wanamaker is ahead of him. Green over Ojeleye is another story. Too early to call, but Ojeleye never wowed me to the degree that Green has. I always thought Ojeleye just needed more playing time to get his confidence up. Then Green comes in and explodes. Ojeleye in his years here has never done that!

I have changed my mind on Green. I think Edwards and Waters, Tacko and Green all show so well that Wannamaker gets a courtesy trade to another team or cut and Tacko and Green are both on the roster.

[Ben-N1ce]

If Tacko isn't on the roster SMH..Huge mistake on the floor and for the fan and business side. I can't see the rationale when they have no bigs and if he ever reached his ceiling somewhere else they will never live it down.
