Maybe Chomche will go undrafted and we'll see where he ends up.

Yeah I'd like to see us try and grab Chomche and/or Flowers as upside swing UDFA.

Another UDFA I'd target. Hauser's former college teammate - Reece Beekman..

And McCullar. No sure if all 4 of them will go undrafted..

IDC, wish all good for Bronny, but this isn't right!

Only 6-8.
Watson did shoot .412 from the 3 on 1.3 attempts last season, so low volume, but improved his percentage all
5 years at Gonzaga.

1.5 steals for a big is impressive.

Obviously a decent floor, older, contribute now type of player.

Anton Watson flagrant on Bronny will be epic!

I'm happy for the James family, and it's cool for the NBA, but ESPN really screwed a lot of the other picks on the biggest day of their lives. The way of the world...

Anton Watson is a developmental player that will be on a two-way the next few years only to become a RFA and the Celtics will let him go.

Hope I’m wrong but I doubt it

So two 5-year wings with good BBIQ for the Cs. One more of a guard-forward, and the other a defensive swing.

I think this past year Brad had his fill of drafting to stash in Maine or abroad. They need some cheap bench contributors.

McCullar owes Bronny a hard foul too. lol

Cleveland should have taken Bronny just to piss them off. They can have the hype, we got the chip

Bronny is the true nepo baby

Slow as molasses..

He would be a better fit playing overseas somewhere.

Does Bronny have the lowest ppg out of the college kids in the draft?

Obviously, if he plays more than 2 minutes with Celtics I'd be heavily surprised.

19% body fat, right in there with me and Luka.

Undrafted free agent mini-frenzy begins soon.

watson seems to have the skillset to do what grant did for us.

redslastlaugh · Post #1480 » by **redslastlaugh** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 10:18 pm

The roster was missing a developmental 4 man. Anton Watson is the type of player we’ve needed since Grant left and to a lesser degree Semi Ojeley. There are matchups where you need a physical front court player to defend and Watson could pan out in that regard.

At some point in the next three yrs, we’re playing Giannis in another series ..l and this was the #54 pick … so I like it.

Let’s go!
