Romeo Langford Thread

[31to6]

Romeo needs to get his driving game going.

[JediMasterRevan]

Instead of showing signs of getting better, Romeo is looking more and more like a wasted pick.

He had managed to score 4 points in his last 3 games as a starter. 2 of those points was a lucky tip in.

Romeo, Nesmith, Grant and Semi are trash. It’s sad.

Pritchard is the only bright spot in the last few years of Danny’s picks.

Nesmith hasnt had enough of a chance to prove he is trash.


Romeo is just a role player 10-12 minutes a night guy
Grant is a 5-8 minutes guy

Semi shouldnt be in the nba

Romeo hasn't had enough of a chance either. He's only got about 10 games under his belt in his sophomore season. He's probably still only a role plyae at best, but don't see him as a right off yet.

Defensively he's been good. Offensively he's just not 3 &D, he's more Tony Allen cutting/slashing and D, but he's not playing with any true facilitators nor does he have a chance to play on ball. If we had pass first PG like CP3/Rondo/Rubio think he'd look better on that end of the floor since he moves well.

Nesmith is basically red-shirting. Grant and Semi are filler guys for lottery teams. They'll have more contracts in the NBA, but you won't hear their names ever.

Edwards/Waters are G-league.

[Celts17Pride]

Celtics need more from Romeo Langford or he will be unplayable in the playoffs. Can’t have someone on the floor that the defense completely ignores. Romeo’s defense is not good enough to make up for his total zero on offense. Romeo has about 12 games to figure it out

[Bleeding Green]

since tatum, ainge's drafting has been decidedly subpar.

brad's not doing him any favors tho by requiring every draft pick become a defensive specialist before they can get minutes. i appreciate brad's thinking, but offense matters too. romeo for instance seems to have forgotten how to score.

How so? Redraft the 2018 and 2019 drafts. Ainge's picks go higher in a redraft. I'd say redraft 2020 too, but too early for that; all I know if that Pritchard isn't going 26th if they redo it in a couple years.

But yeah, if you compare the last three drafts to the one where he dunked all over the entire league, I guess they don't look that great.

If this team is healthy there is no way that romeo will get minutes much less have plays run to get him opportunities. Team moves ball well yet he gets nothing. Im not about making excuses for someone who has over 500 nba minutes amd has been gifted playing time non stop since returning.

He is way down the pecking order.

Tatum
Brown
Kemba
Smart
Fournier
Timelord
Pritchard


And honestly, nesmith will surpase as he is capable of scoring off kickoits

Romeo shpuldnt be playing in the playoffs.

Tatum
Brown
Smart
Kemba
Fournier
Pritchard

He is not above any of those guys.

Timelord
Thompson
And as much as i hate it grant williams.

Thats 9 guys.

We arent playing a 10 man rotation in the playoffs.

[Bleeding Green]

They'll definitely have a 10-11 man rotation because guaranteed at least 3 players will be injured each game.

[AgentGreen]

[playa-hater]

If Romeo had a left wrist injury I would be calling him a bust. but it was his right wrist which means he couldn't even work on the thing he needed the most, and that was shooting. He still has young potential, but will need to work his shooting ass off this summer. Lonzo and Melo Ball had some funky worse mechanics. They improved it. I see no reason why Romeo couldn't either. A good jump shot and every other part of his game would open up.

If after the summer he doesn't show real progress, then move on.

Such a stupid post. Time Lord (27th pick less than 3 years ago) is top 10 in the NBA in PER, FG%, TS%, BPM, offensive rating, defensive rating, rebounding % and blocks %.

What's sad is calling guys trash who are only 21 or 22 years old. Anyone with any basketball knowledge knows it typically takes at least 3 seasons before you can actually begin to draw any meaningful conclusions about whether a player is working out or now. Unless we want to give up on all of these guys and then have it come back to bite us in the a## like it did with Billups, Joe Johnson, Bruce Bowen, etc.

All I now is if romeo and grant williams get extended burn in the playoffs then we are a 2nd round sweep out.

Calling anyone a bust who's only 21, only played 1 year of college ball and less than 50 games of NBA ball is dumb. Surgery on his right wrist is the icing on the cake..

[jpjp]

I would not rule out or praise players until they have completed their rookie contract, i.e. played a minimum of 4-5 seasons.

[poopship]

Crazy notion but maybe he can improve if he gets to stay healthy for more than a couple of weeks. Work on his handle and finishing through contact and he may be a decent bench player even if he stays a bad outside shooter.

I'm hoping more Jabari than Grant by then, but at this point we've got to expect an average of a couple of players not being available for their play-in game (or more, if they win that).

[ParticleMan]

^^ sure, but could we at least have it be like semi and kornet and carsen who are the guys not available, for a change? why does it always have to be our top rotation players? i beg you, basketball gods!

[Krkrich]

the problem with romeo is that he barely gets any looks. His role is to stand in the corner to clear out space. I hate brads offense.

You know few could also mean as low as 2 right?

You must be a huge Romeo or Nesmith fan to get so upset.

Those numbers are misleading when someone can’t stay on the floor. I agree with the premise of you’re argument also only Ainge used all of his picks instead of addressing his depth issue with veteran players, he’s relying on these picks to give meaningful contributions right away. It would be fine having one of the Nesmith/Langford/G Williams types to develope, but his whole bench is rookie contract guys giving you nothing. Anyway you spin it Ainge did a poor job with the roster.
