I don't understand why the Celtics would take Harro at 14 when basically all he can do is shoot.

When not scoring, he can have games in which he gives you little else ... Not a great passer,


You can get better shooting talent (imo)at 22 and you can use 14 on other needs in the draft.

If Danny is thinking we can't incorporate 3 people into the rotation next year maybe think about using #22 on Okeke who will be rehabbing most of the season.

He could end up being a big time steal.


I don't watch a ton of college b-ball but I do watch the tournament, then fall in love with guy who do well there. That's why I really like Okeke and Edwards

Questions:

Who is the best big bodied center to go up against guys like Embiid? I like about Rob Williams and Theis (if he's back) but still think we need another big guy just in case we lose Al or Baynes.... both of of them were injury prone last year getting another guy could help.

Who are the best Draft and Stash candidates in the 20-22 range? I don't think we will end up with three first rounders on the team next year so I think Ainge either makes a deal for a future pick/picks or looks to stash someone overseas. Okeke may as well be considered a D&S, just because he probably won't see the court next year.

I have no idea about any of those players.

But, if the dude can shoot, he can shoot.

One game? Played in the SEC and vs other top teams all season. He's had more than his fair share of success don't cherry pick.

That my friend will not happen in this draft. Most of the bigs have talent on the offensive side of the ball. No Bruisers to got at Embiid in this draft with NBA talent.

Uh no he's got a full arsenal of skill on the offensive end it's just defensively there may be issues.

I'm late on the Herro parade admittedly but after spending some time on him recently I really like what I see. Put me on blast I don't care but I see some Booker lite and Murray in him. Similar physical profiles and skill set and none of the three will wow you athletically but good enough.

Herro is very competitive, always been a winner.

Let me ask what do you see from Herro compared to Edwards. Keeping in mind pick 14 compared to 22.

PS I'm all for Porter in this draft however I am a draft couch potatoe and have no clue about his baggage.

Don't know if this video has been posted before, but it includes an interesting interview with Darius Bazely. Apparently he had put in some time working out in Boston with old friend, Brian Doo. He comes across as smart and confident, and I like that he sees himself as a positionless player capable of playing 1-5. Not going to read too much into his Boston workouts with Brian Doo, but it wouldn't surprise me if Danny has his eye on this kid.

But the question is will you lose sleep if we get him at 22?

Bitadze ain't no stiff, guys. Seems like a pretty good athlete for this size. Shoots the ball with ease. Would love for Tommy to be pronouncing his name, there'd be at least a few variations of his name if he's in Boston.
Good assessment:

Understand Edwards has to prove he's a PG, a guy that can lead a team, initiate offense. Herro OTOH has good size for his position albeit short wingspan and can create better IMO. Both elite scorers but on pure shooting I'll give Herro the nod.

Basically I feel like Edwards has the bigger adjustment to make.

Furthermore want to add people slept on Booker the consensus being he was just a shooter and not the best athlete and defender. Can't remember but I think he was taken around 12-13.

Devin Booker is still a horrible defender, he just exploded as a scorer in Phoenix.. he’s also much much more creative in getting his shot than Herro

I think Goga has settled in as my 3rd choice at 14 behind Clarke and Claxton. I like the other guys agility a bit better than his, especially for defense. But if they're both gone and we end up with this guy I would not be disappointed.

Because we all know who Brad Stevens is, who do you think has the bigger adjustment to make defensively for what we do on defense? Edwards or Herro?

Brian Doo is someone they fired.. Bazley is interesting. He’s not likely to be there at 51 and 20 or 22 would be too high for him. He also comes with Rich Paul attaches.

Imma try to stay away from any Paul clients unless the guys are superstar-ish and can or will bring us titles now or in the future.
