About 3.5 hours of waiting just to have a late first turn into an athletic Justin Reed and some future second rounders.

Oh well that's the NBA draft for you.

So turned the #25 and into a SF who can't shoot? Trade down enough and the value disappears. Don't like it at all

It's starting to make sense to me now.... After paying J Brown what he wants the only players Boston will be able to fill out the roster with are second round picks.. :-?
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

And cant shoot a lick for a coach who wants everyone to launch threes.

He's only 19, so he could certainly improve his shooting. There's upside. I'd be more worried if he was a 21/22 yr old with shooting concerns. Cause he's earlier on in his development.

Also, he improved his shooting during the season. 34% from 3 over his last 19 games and 74% on free throws over his last 15 games.

His shooting form is decent enough. And he shot it pretty well at the combine.

I think he'll develop into a decent enough shooter. The guy has size (7'2" wingspan). is a very good, versatile defender. High motor, good toughness, strength, athleticism, good passer. He can rebound, too. Goes HARD after the boards.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Jordan Walsh is bald and so was Michael Jordan. I like the pick.

Or likes to mess with players heads by drafting them then trading them to determine their mental toughness 5 years down the road?

Spurs get Cissoko. Aside from talent, it's good to have a French team mate for Wemby.
