I'm stoked.
I wanted him, we got him.
A 2-way wing with size whose skill nicely blends with Jaylen's off-ball, transition game and Tatum's mid-post, spot-up game.

It'll be nice to have a guy who can finish and get to the line, we've struggled with that a lot the last few years. Hopefully his shooting in college was just from the thumb.

Ugh--the C's picked a wing who shot 27% from the 3 and whose toughness was questioned? While Goga was still available?

He's a classic Ainge pick. Top 5 RSCI prospect coming out of high school who fell because of a disappoint frosh season.
And he's got toughness - very physical paint finisher who can and does body up bigger players.

Grant Williams is a classic Danny pick.

He played the whole season with a torn ligament im his shooting hand lol, jeez.
Tyreke Evans is who he reminds me most of, though like Slart, i see some Jrue Holiday. I would sig bet anyone that this board will LOVE him by January.

He played with injured thumb. He may not be a lights out shooter but he was a great scorer in HS. Ainge made a solid pick.

I like the pick he had a hand injury which effected his shot. He has star potential a true 2 guard, yes we have a glut at this position but he is something we dont have

I'd much prefer Bol.

A shooting guard who can't shoot? We have that his name is Marcus Smart.

Smart had a 56% TS last year.

Or do we?
Nah. Just checked, we still do.
I don’t like the pick but I’m probably wrong.

And you can't tell me you don't throw up a little in your throat everytime he takes a three.

Not this past year, he was good enough from 3.

He checks all the boxes of a guy Ainge loves in guards:
1. Competitor on both ends
2. Good length, pro body / strength
3. Highly rated out of HS
4. Can get his own shot
Beyond that, the kid gets FTs, which I LOVE. I really think there is upside to his shooting after playing with the torn ligament in his hand. Look at Brown's shooting splits before/after his hand got healthy. That stuff matters.
He's not super explosive but if he can hit the 3 I think he's got some real Eric Gordon in him (not to be lazy with the Hoosier connection

).

The physicality as an interior finisher combined with his pull-up, PNR game is a potentially wicked offensive combo.
I really like how he combines with Jaylen and Tatum. All three with quality size. A good wing rotation there.

Any idea what his 3FG% and FT% were in high school?

Romeo has always remind me of Courtney Lee somehow. A player I hated when he was on the Celtics because of his poor defense. Are they the same size? I hope Romeo turns out to be a better player though. Stevens probably likes him and will use him a lot if he is not traded. I liked Keldon Johnson better. He is a bigger Avery Bradley.
