NBA Draft - part 3. We have all the 3rd round picks.

[jfs1000d]

We better sign louis king. And Porter and Naz Reid. I dont see why they go undrafted and we pick multiple dudes smaller than me (a fairly average sized out of shape dude).

I don't think Water and Carse nwill be great, but Carsen can play and score big. Water is an explosive passer, scorer and is a really really good hoops player.

So the F what if they are small? Water is small, but is a pest on D. If he can't cut it in the NBA? Then cut him. Ainge is pretty good about finding players in the late second. Got Gomes, Etwaun Moore, Leon Powe and some other players late in the past couple of years.

And Semi is a player who should get more minutes, and he was a second rounder, though higher. Eve Glenn Davis was a secon rounder way back when.

Just surprised we’re not trying to get Russell, we have cap space, he’s available, he’s young, he fills a need..

Yes we need more guards and people who want to shoot a lot!

Ok, but Kyrie was our best and most consistent scorer and he’s gone.. Brown and Tatum may want shots, but they’re not remotely ready to carry an offense.. Vucevic is - Russell is closer than both -

Yeah, we're going to suck without a primary scorer. Maybe Hayward gets back to being one, wouldn't bet on it. Tatum has a long ways to go, Brown too.

D'Lo is close to being that guy than any of them. Not sure if I like the idea of giving him a max deal though.

So the C's nab two of the three shortest players at the combine:

Edwards at 5'10.5" and Waters at a combine-shortest 5'9.5":

Nostalgic for IT I am pretty sure.

Both these cats are interesting players but I’d be surprised if either plays more than 500 NBA minutes ever. That’s cool. It’s the second round. Take a shot on the dark.

Can you say Eddie House

Yeah man. That’s the hope.

So what happened?

Danny drafted guards more news at 11.

[brackdan70]

My early grade is a B. Langford and Williams are both guys picked about where they should have been, but could certainly outplay their draft position. Both will be NBA players and might be good ones. At 14 and 22 that’s good. I could give a duck about the second round guys that are shorter than me. Interesting players but I don’t see any impact. We could have had Sekou....we could have had Goga. Not sure we made the right moves so that’s why a B and not an A I am happy enough though and ready for so hot summer league action.

Yeah I honestly like carsen. I just never even heard of the 2nd little dude. Its a late 2nd rounder, but there were a lot of guys I liked there still... As documented konate, porter, reid, and Louis King. Every NBA team disagreed with me that those guys were worth rostering, so what do I know...

Waters can play. Quick, explosive and a pest in D. He’s small. But he also came out as a sophomore. Really good player and a top 40 prospect out of high school.

quite possibly the worst draft Danny has ever had topped only by 2013 when he took Olynyk over Giannis. At every selection he chose poorly and passed on much better available players. Instead of taking high upside guys that could pay off down the road and help us become legit contenders, he settled for high floor guys who will, in the short term, help keep us as pretenders. I've NEVER been more frustrated on draft night following any sport. This was just about the worst case scenario. It could have been worse, Danny could have chosen a worse player than Langford. But that's not anything to celebrate. The only real bright side is by taking Langford we've upgraded over Jaylen Brown.

[FutureIsGreen]

The Trey Young effect?

[Upperclass]

Shouldve taken Nickeil at 14, Dylan Windler at 22, Fernando at 34.. Wright-Foreman at 51.. but Waters was fine

But overall YOU KEEP THYBULLE.. He's going to end up a top 5 impact guy very quickly..

[LewisnotMiller]

I'm not sure why everyone is upset with the two guards. Our guards sucked. We had two ego maniacs that could care less if we won. Both with the attitudes " I gotta get mines" !!
The two new guys will be exciting to watch. We at least have someone that can shoot the ball.

Time Lord is the only guy on our roster now who is over 6’9.

Who is going to guard Embiid and Giannis?

To be honest not sure it matters. With Horford and Irivng gone we are a lottery team.

Early call. Depends how we use that space, and if Hayward becomes a decent shooter (in no way do I expect 'good player', but he could be a decent rotation piece). Bottom of the East ain't amazing. Smart, Brown and Tatum is a solid perimeter trio.

[Bleeding Green]

Warriors just got the new Klay and the new Draymond in the same draft.

I'm curious which one you view as Klay Thompson lol. Edwards?

Jordan Poole, but was exaggerating.

[TheMartian]

I like Wiliams' toughness and defensive awareness despite his size.

I like Carsen Edwards' range and his bulldoggish style of play. Looks to be tough as well.

Need to see more of Langford and Waters though.

Why does Danny like undersized players?

[LarryBirdsFingr]

So what happened?

Remember that draft where we got a **** load of guards, it's that again

Most undersized players play with a chip on their shoulder and are highly motivated. I can see that in both Williams and Edwards already.

I'm not so sure about Langford but people are saying he loves attacking the rim and getting to the line, which definitely fills a huge need in this team. Williams gives the team some semblance of post-scoring. Edwards is our new Larkin, a player I really liked.

It may not be a bad draft after all.

I think Brad already looks overjoyed to no longer be coaching Kyrie.

[darylbe]

Freaking new Orleans got a haul for AD, rightfully so. Good for them.

If thay was ainge getting thay haul, he'd turn it into 15 athletic undersized "versatile" wings thay can't dribble or shoot.

He should be recovered by start of season.
