Why not Portis? Why not Dekker? Frankly disappointed.

Rozier checks off at least two of those categories, and I think he probably shot the ball better in workouts which lead to the "reach". A Terry Rozier who's knocking down jumpers is a lotto pick.

And to irie: it doesn't matter where you're drafted. Once you are in the league you define your own destiny. No one is going to shy away from throwing max money at Dray, Jimmy or Kawhi this offseason. Rozier could be better than a couple of the PG's taken in the lotto. We shall see.

One need going into the draft: talent. High-end talent.

Rozier has amazing talent. One of the best athletes in the draft.

The questions around him are what is he offensively? Is he an SG or a PG? Can he shoot. The talent is obvious though... and he's in the mold of other Ainge picks in this range with some interesting parallels to Rondo, Bradley and Tony Allen.

Now Hollis-Jefferson gone, the night gets worse and worse.

Guarantee The Celts will pick Pat Connaughton.

Occam's razor, guys.

There is no trade, it was a bad pick, now we move forward unfortunately and press on.

And then if this kid turns into Eric Bledsoe, everyone will be raving about how much of a "steal" it was. Sports fans are funny, man.

I'll be stunned if they make a deal. Although that Anthony Bennett deal that was proposed yesterday doesn't look half bad at this point

He'd have been good value at 28, but kind of absurd after already taking Rozier.

Hunter, Martin, Harrell, Looney best still available?

I also like Anthony Brown.

Red2 · Post #1155 » by **Red2** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 2:15 am

What's frightening is that Danny Wyc Pags etc all thought we could do something and no one wanted what we were selling

Honestly? Cuz both of them suck. Rozier at least offers athletic upside...

hickfromfrenchlick · Post #1157 » by **hickfromfrenchlick** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 2:15 am

I hope we get Tyus Jones. At least that means we're making a trade. At this point I just want something exciting to happen.

Scarletfire81 · Post #1158 » by **Scarletfire81** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 2:15 am

We do not know if this is a bad pick yet.. It is highly questionable but let's see it play out. I'm must admit I was angry earlier but we have to remember Ainge did make the celtics Relevant again. He brought us a championship. How many GMs can say that?

dlamb8888888 · Post #1159 » by **dlamb8888888** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 2:16 am

I'd be happy at this point with Looney at 28 and Upshaw at 33.

I've been told by some people on the internet that there is NO difference between the guy you can get at #9 (Winslow) and the guy you get at #16 (Rozier). Just focus on that last playoff spot.

I will admit I haven't paid as much attention to Winslow as I should but how good do you expect him to be? The problem with the Celtics is we had a lot of hard working role players but no all-stars or go to scorers above six foot tall. If we had Winslow on our team last year would he be someone who'd push us over the edge into relevance or would he be someone people would be clamoring to trade so that we could perhaps miss the playoffs and have a better shot at drafting the next Justise Winslow?

The point is not Winslow. Or any player in particular. The point is asset value. A top-10 pick is worth several times the value of #16.
