The more I watch Haliburton the more I feel his game is well suited for the Celtics. If Danny does move up I hope it would be for this guy.

I mean that's nice but no one has been in the gym more than Semi Ojeleye and he can't play worth a crap.

Well, there is a reason semi was a second round pick and that Wiseman is likely going top 3. I’m more impressed with the dedication from a guy who’s biggest knock is supposed to be a questionable motor

No thanks to Pritchard in the first. Many will disagree but I also hate Tyler Bey

He is perfect.

Can pass
Can shoot
Can switch
Can play either guard spot

In the other thread a few posters claiming to be a bit plugged-in claim the C's are getting ready to try to move up to get him. We shall see..

That would be awesome. Then ship off Kemba to try and nab Okongwu and I would be extatic

Imagine leaving the draft with Haliburton, Okongwu or Wiseman. Dream

So I’m removing Vassell from my board after seeing him pull a Fultz and butcher his shot form

The first ten guys in this draft are on the same tier.

Haliburton's shot is ugly. How often do guys come into the league with low release points like that and succeed? Everything else looks so promising with him, though

while I like each individual, I don't like the pairing of 2 hybrid defenders that can't shoot well at 14 and 26

I saw that too. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot is that. Give me Patrick Williams at 14 or trade the pick now
