I'd set the lines around ~25% that he plays in the NBA and ~15% that he plays for the Celtics. What do others think?

0% if Ainge keeps drafting 6’ and below point guards

Madar turned 20 a week ago and is 6'3".

The most important thing I took away from that game is that there is a human being named Willy Workman, and he looks like this:

Kid's an athlete. Maybe, bring him in after this season. I kinda like him. He can shoot, pass and is an athlete, doesn't seem to lack confidence either. Give him a chance and see what comes out of it. 6'3 is a pretty decent size for PG, too.

I mean if Ainge is just gonna throw away 2nd round picks and even the 30th pick why not use those to trade for a productive role player, such as the rumored asking price of multiple 2nd round picks for PJ Tucker

Madar flying under the radar. Going to yam on our heads next season.

I'd be lying if I said I had any idea as to what type of player Yam can turn into or not. But I hated the pick and still do, because I just felt that there were better gambles and talent available, as well as positions of greater need.

Maybe in a year or 2 my opinions will be proven wrong. We will visit this one some day again.

Who were the better gamble and talents?

Looks like he's more than 1 year away from coming over IMO.

His handle is way too right-hand dominant, he isn't going to be able to get downhill against NBA players like that. You saw at the end he was getting frustrated with full-court pressure. He really needs to tighten his handle.

I don't love the way his shot looks either. They've gone in this year so far, and he's a great FT shooter, so the eye is probably there, but his mechanics are inconsistent. He has too much dip in his shot, its one thing to dip the ball but he dips his whole body, and that's the kind of thing that could complicate moving from the FIBA 3 to the NBA 3.

He's got great size and he's young (born in December 2000, so he's 13 months younger than Romeo Langford, the youngest guy in Boston). But I think 2-3 years from now is more realistic if he's going to make the jump to NBA.

Cause Tucker hasn't been productive? He has looked awful this season.

Well he's shooting 46.4% FG and 41.9% 3PT, which would be career highs for him. He's been anything but awful this year.

He wouldn't be my first choice but the point remains that instead of wasting 2nd round picks, they could trade them for useful role players. We saw Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson get traded for I believe just two future 2nds.
