Yep, if BKN hits a home run here, there's going to be a lot of revisionist history thrown at Masai's way.

Williams is gonna be a handful as a bench big.

LMAO of course this would happen.

BOS gets the near perfect pick fall right in their laps while our useless franchise is trying to trade away Delon to not pay luxury tax.

Dude has the ability to be a defensive force, which is what Boston needed at C.

He has pretty low defensive BBIQ. He clearly hunts blocks, I saw him just let guys get past him at Texas A&M this season so he could go for a block. His defensive play is purely athleticism/size based. He can get punished hard at the NBA level in 1/5 PnRs and by well spaced offenses

Dont worry guys next year we are going to draft a real Giant from africa. 15 feet tall, with crazy wing span. We will also double his starting salary cause we may as well beat the league in trying to retain him.

All night long these analysts are getting fed the pick. Kind of takes the mystery out of everything. Less joy

tbh I'd be surprised if we have picks next year too.

Clearing salary isn't going to be cheap

People really attacking Masai for being from Africa..

I don't get what Masai is doing here. Unless our players have zero trade value. The Sixers/Celtics are gonna be running this division for a long time, so we either need to win now, or revamp/retool or tear it down.

Will not be acceptable to stay the course with this roster.

I would have been so pissed if we had our pick and the Celtics took Williams.

that interior contest balance can be coached though. instincts are there so that helps.

is he bad in space? I haven't seen enough tape on him
