Make that 4-10 instead of 0-10! :lol:

In any case, he's gone mental. Brad can just sit him down and say, "keep getting the work in".

Then turn to Watson and say "you're in".


I like his burst and has shown some intriguing touch at the rim with both hands. He's got to learn that go-go gadget arms and nice touch will get punched or stripped when you're not past your defender. With the 3pt shot, I hated his feet this week. Doing jumping splits when there was no tactical reason for doing so. Others his feet just too wide . You need propulsion to the rim, especially for someone who is still tweaking his form and needing tons of repetitions to get that muscle memory. I would give this at least 3 years, unless he's an attitude problem.


I doubt it's an attitude problem. He's just long and gangly and growing into his man bones. Once he reigns in his movements and gets his form down he may be a terror on the court. Lots of "ifs", it may take another year or three.

The good:
Give Scheierman some time, like after Porzingis comes back, he will break into the rotation with Pritchard, Hauser, Tillman and Horford as the 2nd five.
Watson, pure and simple, is a keeper. Get him on the last two way.
I like House better than Davison at this point. Hope House will take an affiliate position with Maine.
I would like it if Tillie would stick around on an affiliate position also.
Harper was also impressive, another affiliate spot hopefully.
I like Ramsey a lot also.

The bad:
Walsh going 0-22 from three for the 4-game summer league was about as bad as it gets. His only saving grace is his rebounding and defense.

Wow, is that even possible? Poor guy. Well, I hope it ends up being the best thing to happen to him, meaning, he uses this as a motivator to work even harder. Just keep him with the main club this year, in practices, on the bench, some garbage minutes here and there, letting him build back... er... better.

Unfortunately you can't visualize a pro offensive identity for Enaruna after this week. The stuff he showed in pre-draft camps isn't likely to be greatly transferrable against better athletes. I thought another blocked shot was missed by the statistician. I like his STOCK stat potential, lol. He was very lost out there much of the time, didn't show good rebounding acuity, late reactions. But there are some tools to work with defensively for sure.

i'm definitely out on drafting 19 year old projects during the rest of this run with the jays. sticking 19 year olds in the g league (jd & walsh) has turned out to be a total disaster for our 2nd rounders.

not too worried about watson & scheierman going to maine bc guys like hauser & queta were a bit older and were able to handle it just fine.

not sure if walsh and jd are just irresponsible and don't use their spare time well enough to develop their games or physique as much as they should or what, but guys as talented as walsh & jd completely flopping when playing outside of maine is a terrible look for that coaching staff.

they both should be able to impose their will on summer league competition, and they couldn't be further away from being capable of doing that.

Maine rotation if they go as you'd plan, IMO:
Davison, Scrubb, Ramsey, House, Walsh, Harper Jr., Watson, Peterson, Tillie, (playable 7-footer TBD)

I still go Davison, Scrubb, Ramsey, Walsh, Harper Jr., Enaruna, Watson, Peterson, Tillie, (playable 7-footer TBD) until Enaruna gets through exhibition games.

Enaruna is a lot bigger looking than I expected. Imagine being as big and skilled as him and not being good enough for NBA. It’s amazing how high the bar has become.

Hal, will be depending on you to throw out some 2-way eligible players from other squads to throw around a little.

Standing reach (8"10.5") is 1/2 inch longer than Tillman. Also a 38" max vertical leap, 30.5" standing vert. I'm still very tempted to give him the 2 years he might need in G league.

If we include the 4 SL games this year, the 1 game he played in at the G league elite camp this year leading up to the draft, along with all 35 games he played in college last season and the last 16 games of the season before that, so the last 56 games he's played in, he's 34/84 from 3 which is 40.4 %


I hate that 34/84 is calculated with 3 significant figures.

Not picking on you in particular; it's the custom now. But I remember when it wasn't.

Idc idc, of the guys who didn’t play 1-2 games, Watson was our best most consistent player. If he was flashier, higher pick, or an NBA player’s son he’d get more love. He isn’t perfect but he was very good and consistent!

Yeah, not flashy, but very solid that Watson.

I think the Celtics hit on their draft this year. I see both Scheierman and Watson becoming above average to good rotational bench players on a good team. That works for me.

DJ Steward, formerly of the Maine Celtics just lit it up for 37 points on 19 shots for the summer Bulls. He's probably too small for the NBA, but that's good for him. When that guy gets hot, he gets HOT.

I enjoyed watching Steward more the JD in Maine this season. Kids a mini microwave.
