kelly has has a solid career (for where he was taken) and I wouldn't mind having him back here at all
I agree overall that we've drafted really well. But the other 4 picks in the 2016 draft were useless as well.
ya but got JB ahead of them 2016 and Grant after Romeo 2019
but you're right, have to include thaBOOTY on the iseless lost bc of where he was taken
Yabusele's tenure with the Celtics was bad, I'm not going to argue otherwise. But let's be fair, he can actually ball a little. He was part of the closing lineup that had an historic upset of team USA in the group stage of the last Olympics. Started the final and dropped 13 points (and since that game was a defensive battle he ended up as like the 4th highest scorer in that game). In Euroleague, he's averaging more points and more minutes than anybody on Real Madrid's roster (on 55/40/89 shooting splits).
He's been making threes on pretty decent volume at 40%+ for years in Europe. So it's entirely possible that his struggles from three in Boston were down to sporadic minutes and lack of game opportunities to adjust to the longer line. Had he gone to a team where he would have had more rope to work through his mistakes instead of being buried behind Horford, Tatum, Morris, Baynes, Theis, Timelord, etc. he'd probably still be hanging around in the league.
