We keep all picks and no longer draft a few ready now players. We should be drafting 19-20 year olds tops. Develope and hope to hit on at least 1.
Some high floor low ceiling senior isn't going to be worth it to play along with JT/JB.

I think you take the best big at 14 unless someone you expected to be gone is available. Clarke or Bol are my preferences, but Washington or whoever is good too.
I really like Cam Johnson as a 3 and D NBA ready guy. Terrible reason to draft a guy unless you have 3 picks and your in the back end of a flat if not weak draft. He has a pro game and while he projects as an NBA role player it is a really important role.
If you have filled those two spots then the need is PG. Not many attractive options but there are guys worth taking a shot on and in this draft getting your guy is more important than perceived value at the draft slot, Ty Jerome, Carsen Edwards, Shamarie Ponds, Jaylen Lecque (which is a massive flyer).

He’s got some serious upside too, as his completely revamped jump shot showed significant improvement from his days at SJSU. He’s the guy I want at 14.

I do not expect Ainge to use all 3 draft choices. 2 tops, imo, I could be wrong tho.

Oh I agree. But we don't have a lot of options right now. I'd love to bring Rondo back, but I guess he wants to play for a contender.
Or maybe we could sign Rubio and have Carsen as a backup.
"but his play making is really lacking"
Maybe its the team he plays with. He was a one man show in college because he had to.
"can shoot from everywhere " Bingo!!!!!!!!
No, it's not the team he plays with at all. Yeah, they suck. But Carsen needs to improve a lot his offensive awareness, as well as how natural he looks playmaking for others. Seriously, if you haven't been on this thread one week before the draft, think twice before you post. Watching a 10 minute highlight video is not scouting. I mean this with all the love in my heart.
But let's try to keep this thread clean of overractions. It will gain track a lot now that AD is not an option and we'll probably be drafting for ourselves, so a lot of posters should gain lots of knowledge by reading the thread. Not saying I am a draft expert or anything, but let's keep the quality of the thread high please.

he's a poor man's Satoransky. Classic solid college player who will get lost in the NBA due to lack of physicality and athleticism. These are the type of players you take late in the 2nd round so your bench unit is competitive and pushes the starters in practice. Not due to talent but tenacity. Every team needs try hards on their bench for this very reason. And in the event that a starter does go down they can fill in for a game or two and maybe not cost you a win.
or Claxton.. I'm starting to get a bit paranoid that Danny will ignore all the big men like Bitadze, Washington and Clarke will select Thybulle at #14 instead... He's exactly the type of player Ainge loves.PLO wrote:Tatum played OK - took advantage of a few mismatches - decent on the defensive end.

Bull crap. Big Boy your friend I get it, protect the buddy. You didn't give a damn when he makes his comments toward me however you jump to protect a daily contributor. He's your warning for not doing your job with your buddy. Be fair and I will respect your position but at this time it abuse of power.m haynes wrote:big-shot-ROB wrote:m haynes wrote:

Who the hell do you think you are frigging Danny Ainge. let me break it to you, your a idiot on a message board that really thinks he knows what he's talking about.
You know about as much as everyone else on this board, which is jack ****. Now go back and break down film before your mother call you for supper. GMAFB.
Warned for attacking another poster. djFan71.
