How have they underachieved? Not many people saw a 20PPG scorer in Brown coming out, and definitely not this quickly.

Too bad for all the good Ainge* has done, he hasn't found Stevens a reliable rim protector.
Are we sure about that?
When Brown was scoring in lower numbers, all that got mentioned was he was a great athlete and needed time to develop.
He got time, and developed.
Kudos for the Celts for being patient and doing it, but he was drafted 3rd overall for a reason.
It was kind of seen as a bit of a reach at the time
Not a huge one, but he could've gone anywhere from 3 to 7 or 8 as the draft class was seen as pretty weak after Simmons/Ingram
Wasn't like how last year RJ was absolutely going 3rd if Memphis took Morant 2nd, it was like how De'Andre Hunter went 4th though you could've made the case for anyone in the rest of the top 10 to go there at the time.

Wrong draft class. He was in the fultz draft class and he def wasnt a reach in that one.

So we chat a little about the team, the bubble then since the food comes I wish him luck and say the team gave fans hope for the future with how they played in the bubble. He thanks me and says he loves it here he'll stay if he can.

I think Lakers have to put AD on Jokic soon.
Reign23 wrote:more interesting to me: what are your five LEAST favorite players?
for me:
1. Lebron (always hated him, his complaining....)
2. THJ (his shimmy after one good quarter while shooting 39/30 splits for a team 20 games under .500... incredible)
3. Randle (his last season, I just have no words)
4. Harden (just don't like watching him dribble for 20 seconds)
5. KD (like his playing, but his weak ass FA moves... come on)
