You realize the shooting guard we drafted is 215 pounds, almost the exact same height, and with a 6'11" wingspan.

Dude if you want to talk him up then do so, but don't ignore his obvious flaws.

He played in the post and passed out of it in college as a playmaker. That worked in college and likely won't work in the NBA. He has trouble with the idea of hitting 3 pointers.

Maybe he works maybe he doesn't but don't just try to ignore his obvious flaws or say that they aren't by comparing him to one of the most athletic freaks the NBA has seen in the draft since LeBron and act like it's reasonable to mention Williams who legit flaw is he might not have the athleticism to play in the NBA. That isn't anything but trying to lie.

He has plenty of positives, try to talk about them. His flaws are real, they're glaring, and rather obvious.


When you get to his flaws feel free to pick them out. Calling him fat and undersized...not sure if you have the right player.



Read anything scouting profile on him, then try an actual analytical thought based on what they tell you. I'm guessing you'll figure out the flaws there.

After that we can talk about what is 1+1 if you want a more challenging subject.

People freaking out for no reason with this team. Were not back 4 years. We didn't have three 6'8" wings who can each score 20pts a game four years ago.

They are a long, athletic team again. They will play great team defense because of this. They have 3 guys who can score, and now have the shots to do so. What they need is interior defense and rebounding.

Assuming Kawaih is gone, the Bucks are the best team in the east. The Sixers could be the 2nd, or they could drop if Butler and Harris leave. If that happens, the Celtics are still the 2nd best team in the east.

Play Timelord 40 minutes a game and he averages 25 rebounds a game!

He'd foul out before he hit either of those marks :lol:

So right!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hated the way Danny did dirty on Baynes, he was such a great teammate and he was so loved here in Boston to be sent to Phoenix... I really hope he gets bought out and is able to find his desired role in a contender.

Common sense tells you the Celtics have a trade lined up for a center
