champ11 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Jarred Vanderbilt leading summer league in rebounds is no surprise. Love his game...still super rusty from not playing high level hoops much over the last couple years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Ainge drafted someone projected to go 10th at #3 and it worked out, similar to Jaylen Brown. Tatum was an easy top 5 prospect in that draft. Eh. I'm not going to argue this because I'm not going to start that debate with you know who, but I disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave the Celtics 4 good years of production as the 21st overall pick. That pick was very good, I'm not sure what else you expect out of picks after pick 20. He drafted Etwaun Moore with pick 55, who's had a long productive career. He drafted Avery Bradley at 19 who gave the Celtics some fantastic years and is still a good role player. He drafted Gerald Green at 18 who never hit his ceiling but has been a good role player his entire career. He drafted Ryan Gomes at pick 50 who was a good role player for quite a few years in Boston and Minnesota. He had that fantastic draft with Al Jefferson at 15, Delonte West at 24 and Tony Allen at 25. He traded for Kendrick Perkins at the draft who was selected with pick 23. Glen Davis was also selected for Boston at pick 35. He's constantly nailed role players with late picks. Again, knocking Danny Ainge for his drafting ability is stupid. He's drafted incredibly well for a guy who's had 3 top 10 picks in his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ11 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yeah I think bashing Danny Ainge is fun, but his drafting resume is solid. I wouldn't say he's great, but it's not a bad resume. Calling NBA draft picks past pick like 5 busts is kind of absurd. The "bust" rate in the NBA is crazy due to there being 5 guys on the floor for a team and the ages the guys come in at.

Mox Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Two years in I'd take Fox over anyone in that class. His year 1 to year 2 improvement was gigantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Anyone who watches Taco playing right now watch when a pick-and-roll and he rolls to the basket when a player penetrates on offense they do not leave Taco out of fear of him catching the lob he draws a defender or two with him. It won't show up in the stat sheet but he is already being a factor. Use your eyes children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The ESPN announcers have just stated what I already stated carsen edwards is the steal of the draft the thing I am liking about Edwards the most its ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim something he didn't show me much of in college.

resilient part 2 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 As I say that Edwards pulls from 30 and makes it the the only problem is he's bringing the ball up and pulling something hope Brad Stevens can fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
