2025 NBA Draft Thread (pt 3)

[The Corey's]

So if Hugo flames out and Fleming turns into a rotational player. Does Brad finally start to get some criticism on his drafting?

And what happens if they both suck?

Then I guess both his prospects for that range were misses.

Or maybe don't give credit to GMs and on second round picks.

We're several years into the Stevens regime and are yet to see any proof that Brad cares about the draft. That's concerning for a rebuilding team under this new CBA. Brad is only going to be able to live off Danny's picks for so long.

Rebuilding team?

Also, Scheierman showed good promise for a rookie last season. Hauser was the first UDFA Brad signed - that was definitely a hit.

The other picks were so late in the draft, that most picks that late don't pan out anyways..or it's too soon to tell if they will pan out or not.

The only one of Danny's picks still with the team are Tatum, Brown and Pritchard. The rest of the roster was thanks to Brad.

I'd complained before the this draft that, in recent drafts under Brad, our plans/targets had consistently found their way into the press through Vecenie/Givony and it looked like we were going down the road again. Before the first round, draft media said Celtics were high on Rasheer Fleming, Noah Penda, Ryan Kalkbrenner, & Maxime Raynaud.
Celts came up at #28 with all four prospects on the board and Celts take Hugo Gonzalez, a prospect who was almost never mentioned as a Celtics target.

Much better job of managing the media pre-draft and keeping our plans under wraps. Gotta give the front office credit.

Austin Ainge is no longer with the organization. Not saying he was the mole but the leaks stopping the moment he leaves isn't a great look.

Yeah that's true. This pick surprised us all. We heard nothing about Hugo being a potential target for Boston.

Good job by Brad and company to not let it leak out. I wonder if they leaked the interest in Jakucionis and all those rumors about us evaluating PG's, and looking to trade up into the lottery was just to throw other teams off.

LOL, people who believe stuff during lying season do so at their peril. NBA draftnet had Gonzalez going at #24 to the Kings and other draftniks had him mocked even higher. He's a legit 6-6 barefoot and 220 pounds. He's not one of those skinny Euros who shies away from contact.

6'6.25" without shoes and 222.7 pounds at 19 years and 3 months at the combine.

Chatty Austin is on to Utah.

I mean I wouldn't say all of us were surprised
