Romeo Langford Thread

No point in trading them.

Keep them. They have talent.

The only fear I have is that in three years from now one or both of them (and PP can be included here) will blossom as a quality rotation player in the NBA and the same people who are trashing them in Celtics Nation will will posting "why do we give up on such talented players like these?"

If we're going to dump players, let it be ham and egger/over-the-hill vets like Schroder, Richardson, Kanter, and, sadly, Horford. We are a first round exit team with the vets. Keeping them around just stunts the growth of our young players. Play the youngsters and let's see what we've got, if anything.

This thread is going way too far the other way on Romeo.

The thing is, one way or another, in year 3, I was at least hoping to get a good idea of what Romeo can be. A good player, an OK or a bad player, at least we would know... right???.. I still have nothing more than a little idea..

Thanks Ime.

All we definitively have on Rome is that he's injury prone sadly. That and he's a solid defender.

Can you honestly say with a degree of certainty that they would have been allowed to play/develop here. Or at least anywhere near the level what they have become elsewhere?

I mean Bane was never here, But Max was and we let him go.

That is a failure by Celtics management on so many levels. Javonte Green is a starter for the Bulls playing 22 minutes a game. Now I'm not saying Green is a stud. My point is the Celtics didn't play Green and they are not playing Langford and Nesmith. What the hell are they doing?

I don't think they know.

IMO, both Romeo & Nesmith look the part but lack the intangibles. If I knew absolutely nothing about basketball, walked into an open practice with a bunch of basketball players and both Romeo & Nesmith were in there running, shooting, doing drills, etc....I would very likely walk out of that practice thinking they were good players. Then you see them in a game and you're like "WTF is wrong with these guys?" they show flashes here and there, but have demonstrated absolutely nothing that would lead me to believe they can be reliable NBA players over time.
Javonte is a great example of someone that at the very least works his a$$ off, and can jump through the ceiling....dude can't dribble and can't shoot....yet even when he was in Boston I loved when he was on the floor. He would always do at least SOMETHING to help the team. offensive rebound, a put back dunk, a steal.....he worked so damn hard. Romeo looks like he's on cruise control at all times...like "eh, I'm here". I see no fight in him. Nesmith has fight......but he plays too fast......shoot, I got it! Let's somehow combine Romeo & Nesmith into 1 guy! he would be awesome

Romeo is a battler under the basket at either end of the floor. And he's a fine man defender. So I don't share your take at all.

What I do fear is the susceptibility to injuries. Basketball players get nicked up all the time. In a game of quickness and precision, even minor injuries can throw you off. So adapting to minor injuries is a major skill. And Romeo may well be deficient in it.

I see no reason to put stock into nesmith or Langford not sure even if given ample PT they would blossom into what we desperately need. Like I said this is not close

Langford, I Agree with. -- He's never Healthy long enough to be able to tell.
But Nesmith, is a year Behind. I'd give him a bit more leeway. He's more worth the Roster Cost, too.

I mean sure we're not fielding any calls on either but nesmith could get there Langford is glass

Romeo Langford has yet to play a single minute for the San Antonio Spurs 25 days after he was traded. I'm guessing Pop doesn't have that high of an opinion of Romeo Langford. Going to be interesting to see what happens with Romeo. Overseas?

Well in fairness to Romeo. J Rich was playing well for us this year, and he barely plays. SA is way too deep with wing guards.

Edit, just looked up. J Rich has only played in 4 of the last 10 games and only at 13.3 min..

What I have been saying to nauseum. Sometimes a player is only as good as his situation presents.

As much as I love Romeo, he wont have success in Europe. If you can not shot the ball well then you will not play
Maybe a career in China ?

Yes, it's like sometimes people forget that in role player there's role. Right now Richardson and Langford have no role in San Antonio. For most of the league, their effectiveness is determined more by their fit than their ability (see what Schröder did for OKC versus what he did for us for instance).

Now if only we had a TPE large enough to bring Richardson home in the offseason

Oh I think Romeo is an NBA player. Just not a very good one right now. But he's young--two years younger than Pritchard--so I think the odds are pretty good that he will (barring more injuries) find his way into a rotation somewhere.

Kalela · Post #917 » by **Kalela** » Tue Mar 8, 2022 1:53 am

Romeo is 100% an NBA player. Spurs are just working him into their system. They don't need him at moment.

He’s playing right now just watched him score 4 straight points.

Australia, if he's not after big bucks. And doesn't stay injured constantly.
